Every upgrade of the apple OS, I read dozens of stories from studios whose associated hard/software stopped working. Every year. Every. Big studios and little home studios. And they are forced to pay.I upgraded my little hobby studio setup from XP to W7e2 to W764.
Microsoft worked WITH the companies. Microsoft released fixes. It all worked and not one cent was spent because nothing STOPPED working.
I run 10 year old XP programs and DRIVERS written for 32 bit XP that STILL work.
Apple makes the companies fix Apple’s mess.
The operating systems they don't upgrade suddenly stop working when a new OS comes out? Hogwash.
If they have problems, it's because they CHOOSE TO UPGRADE knowing the risks involved. Unlike in a normal enterprise environment, I suppose, where patches and new versions are tested before fully rolling out, these particular industries I guess just magically have all their machines upgraded against their will with no testing at all.
Just these industries. And only the Apple-using businesses.
In the real world, not your fantasy one of unsourced and unbelievable anecdotes, an existing system doesn't suddenly stop working when a new version of software is published and you don't install it. There's no "kill switch" in the software that says "break on [date] if not upgraded". The only people affected by updates are the ones who actually update, and if it's a mission-critical system, then those updates should be tested before they're rolled out.
I don't care what business you're in or what computer/OS combination you're using, that's just IT Services 101.
