One hand Apple does the same with OS X, where every Mac from 2008 onwards basically still receives free OS updates. On the other hand those OS upgrades are usually barely more than a UI refresh and never seem to cause any problems knocks on wood.
I usually wait out half a year or something before upgrading because I don't have any pressing reasons to upgrade, maybe one computer that gets the new version so I can test stuff.
Windows seems to change radically with each version. And none of the changes seem to be permanent. At least the OS on my Mac really changed when it changed and then it stayed the same for 15 years again.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoI don't recall being forced to upgrade, though.
- 2muchcoffeeman 10y agoApple adds lots of new features every release. https://www.apple.com/au/osx/whats-new/ https://www.apple.com/au/osx/whats-new/ (I just learnt that I could wiggle my finger really fast to find my lost mouse pointer) I agree that it never really feels like it though. The last big features that really changed/improved things were 2 finger right click and scroll, Spotlight and Time Machine.
