English (US)   Planned obsolescence  -  Categories: Technology  -  @ 06:37:16 pm

It appears that Microsoft is the computer company most guilty of planned obsolescence. Its Vista OS makes obsolete numerous other products you may own, including (get this) some of Microsoft's own most-used products!

Contrast this with Apple. I can shove Tiger on a Beige G3 if I want, and have few problems (the Molar, though, won't work well with anything past Jaguar, alas). My own Mac is over six years old, and runs Apple's latest OS without a hitch.

If you ask me, most people's addiction to Microsoft products is an example of sheer and utter folly.
