Keep Your Friends Close…

Now… I’m sorry, but I am going to have a bit of a whinge!

I, like many other Apple Mac disciples, was eagerly awaiting the launch of the new OS X Mountain Lion.  However, despite having only a four year old MacBook and a four year old Mac Pro Desktop (combined cost over £3000), I am only able to install Mountain Lion on to the MacBook and even that is only partially supported.  What on earth do Apple think they are doing releasing a system that makes any Mac computer older than 2 or 3 years completely unsupported by their latest operating system?

Personally I feel that you should look after your regular customers, as they are the ones who put you in the position you are in today, but Apple seem to be hell bent on following the latest Social Media sites and trends, rather than concentrating on their VERY loyal regulars.

I would never in a million years, try and tell Apple how to run their business, as they do rather well at that themselves, but I would just point out that many of their followers have been left angry and potentially out of pocket over this latest update.  How hard would it have been to make this system available for 32 bit as well as 64 bit?

That’s it… rant over!
