Every upgrade of the apple OS, I read dozens of stories from studios whose associated hard/software stopped working.

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.

Then hit some of the industry sites and explain why it is that every single version, a crapload of software/ drivers/hardware stop working.

I guess that all those people reporting all those problems over several YEARS are simply mac haters making it all up to piss off 3-4 groupies on a political website.

Everyone is a liar except FR’s Mac Brigade. Everyone. I understand now. Although it’s sort of confusing how people with no experience with the issues involved, or the hardware, are gospel experts on the ‘non existent’ problems but oh well. the script they read from doesn’t really need to be made sense of, just read over and over until all complaints are driven away Democrat style.
