I don't think that is a fair comparison. Going out of your way to buy a new version of Windows (which has clear hardware requirements) and slapping it on old hardware is much different than syncing your phone and following directions for a standard upgrade.
- wtallis 16y agoWindows performance can suck on hardware well above the "minimum system requirements", and this has taught most computer users to know that new features come at a price. Mac OS X's trend of new releases being faster on the same hardware is a shockingly rare exception to the norm, and due to Apple's habit of releasing features before they're optimized. (The whole Quartz system took several releases to get up to acceptable performance, and Spotlight also made very significant gains after the initial release.)

- Xuzz 16y agoIt's most certainly not a fair comparison and I'm most likely trolling here, but at the moment I considered it a (somewhat) interesting point. (Edit: And Microsoft supports downgrades. I can't defend my own argument. In fact, on anything newer than an iPhone 3G, it is literally impossible to downgrade, while a 3G is just "difficult".)
