AZ>MS gets regularly blamed for the sorts of things that Apple does routinely -   
   AZ>and with no blame. For instance, after 12 years, MS drops support for Window   
   AZ>XP (released in 2002); during the same period, Apple switched processor   
   AZ>architectures (from PowerPC to Intel) in 2006 and moved from  2002's OS X 10   
   AZ>to 2013's 10.9 (7 generations of OS). The last OS X version with PPC support   
   AZ>was OS X 10.5. OS X included support to run older applications developed for   
   AZ>the PPC platform on Intel - but that was dropped in OS X 10.7. So the owner   
   AZ>an Intel-powered Mac (all post-2006 Macs) running OS X 10.7 or later can not   
   AZ>run any Mac application developed prior to 2006.   
      
   My daughter is going to have to fight that battle in the next 6 months   
   to year. She wants to replace her prior to 2006 Mac Book Pro with the   
   latest model.
