I think it’s software compatibility. I have a copy of Office Professional 6.0 from 95 or so that will still work fine on my desktop. My wife has a copy of Photoshop 5.5 for OS 8.6 that will now only work on the blue/white G3 sitting under her desk (that probably doesn’t even power on at this point.) It’s not like all that old code kept around for compatibility gets rewritten and streamlined with every new version of Windows. Where as Apple doesn’t have to much problem telling it’s users to suck it and buy new copies of their programs…which are probably 90% Apple anyway (cause really at this point most people just want email, some office apps, and the internet).
