Wow! Good for Microsoft. You don’t see Apple releasing patches for 15+ year old operating systems.



Apple makes all their OS releases free to their users, so there's much lower numbers of 15+ year old Apple OS's existing in the wild to begin with. If you'd said you don't see Apple releasing patches for 15+ year old computers, I'd be more inclined to agree.


Heh, because Apple prefers to arbitrarily leave out support for their older systems on newer OS releases.


Neither did Microsoft, as far as I can tell:

There are XP patches. I wonder if that CVE page is autogenerated and doesn't include out-of-support operating systems.
