Comment Re:Safari is Mac-exclusive (Score 1) 114

And then you have to pay $500 to $600 more four to six years later when Apple stops porting new versions of Safari to your version of OS X or new versions of macOS to your Mac. For example, a 2009 Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" can't be upgraded past OS X 10.11 "El Capitan".

As opposed to all those 6 year old PCs that are running Windows 10 ever so reliably? Hell I've worked on 5 year old machines that were upgraded to Windows 10 with all sorts of mostly driver issues.

A 2009 iMac is actually 7 years old and still capable of running macOS. That's actually a massive achievement.
