But, 25% off how much?
It really isn't that hard. Log in. Look at the cost. Done.

Yes, that's who they are - they apologized wholeheartedly, admitted that they had messed up and promised to never do it again. Their response to the criticism was pure class.

Yes, of course, since Apple have a loooooong history of breaking backwards compitability. Maintaining compatibility tends to be a lot of work for application developers, which is why WUP is such a fair system - again: those who cause the work pay for it. With most other developers the Windows users have to pay for the Apple development. And that's a fact.

I have experienced. My friend gave me an iPad, which was basically a paperweight. Wouldn't/couldn't update OS, so no apps ran because you need the latest version of the OS to run them. It was not that old either.

I'm not for sure some of you understand this, but because Apple releases a new OS does not mean you have to upgrade to it.
