> No one expects an app written for OSX 10.4 Tiger to work on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.

That's truly sad.



Why is that? I think you're misled by OSX's numbering system, which uses .x where other operating systems might use whole numbers. In fact, I misestimated myself...I thought each dot-version represented a year, with Tiger being 4 years old.

However, Tiger is actually 8 years old. I don't think obsolesence in eight years is too horrible.
