Name me another company that has that. Or install the older OS to another partition. Not a hack or a workaround, it's actually what you are supposed to do if you require access to two versions of Mac OS X on the same computer I really don't think this demonstrates the power of lock in, or anything at all really. Just classic "time marches on" software incompatibility. Not unique to Apple or any other vendor.
