Re: [iPad] Apple Releases iOS 8.1.2, It Will Anger Users - Forbes

 

I put it down to the large established business base. Home users can easily adapt. Its change, so grumbles, but no real issue. But a business is vastly different. Businesses often keepOS's far longer than anyone else, as it just works. I work for a large telco, we only went to Windows 7 last year, and then only due to XP being turned off, support and update wise. Hardware isn't an issue as businesses update them on a continual basis. Its making networks work exactly as before, custom applications are a biggie. Businesses commonly use custom software, expensive software. Each day it works as it did yesterday, you don't want a wholesale shift, its bad enough when one software is changed.

Yes, MS have been unwilling to leave their legacy OS behind entirely.  Their hundreds of millions of customers procrastinate and so must they.  


Apple have a smaller, more adventurous and probably less financially constrained customer base.

*i* don't buy m$ products. So *i* don't have any inferior stuff like that. I buy apple stuff which in my opinion is worth my money. But the surface operating system seems pretty cool I like tiles. But that aside. I thought we were talking about m$ operating systems. Isn't part of the problem with m$ code that it's trying to maintain operability with stuff written in 1997? Legacy stuff that runs our cash machines and atm machines?

Microsoft, too, uses OS upgrades to push hardware upgrades

They don't sell hardware. That doesn't make sense. Writing new code for legacy software and hardware is what m$ is all about.

Sure they do.
