Of course they want you to do that, they are a profit making organisation, their only target for existence is to make a profit for their shareholders.

mah, the way some people around here talk, you think Microsoft are out to aid them in some way to reach computing nirvana.

So does Apple

I had to buy Leopard because these fun new programs and even Safari wouldn't work on Panther.

It's business.

you still used panther?

so you did skip Tiger? And that's comparable, other than doing exactly what MS doesnt want you to do?

You missed the best one Tiger was more feature/stable than leopard is yet, and certainly much better than Panther
