Microsoft’s Windows XP came out on October 25, 2001-more than 12 years ago-but Microsoft says it will continue supporting the system until April 8, 2014. Apple might be distancing itself from Microsoft’s tradition of supporting older operating systems for decades and beyond, a practice some call excessive. Snow Leopard hasn’t been issued an update since September 2013, which has led many to believe that the four-year-old operating system is being retired. All of the updates included a critical patch that resolved a major security exploit. On Tuesday, the company released an important update for Mavericks, or OS X 10.9, plus security updates for its two predecessors, Mountain Lion (10.8) and Lion (10.7), but there was nothing for Snow Leopard or any other previously-released versions of OS X. Apple has all but announced it will no longer support Mac computers running Snow Leopard, or OS X 10.6.
