Apple Drops Snow Leopard Security Updates, Doesn't Tell Anyone

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 27, 2014 @03:28AM from the they'll-figure-it-out-soon-enough dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes "As Apple issued an update for Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion yesterday, Snow Leopard users have not seen a security update since September, 2013. This would not be noteworthy if Apple, like a host of other major software vendors, would clearly spell out its OS support policies and warn users of such changes, but they have not. Thus, the approximately 20% of Mac users still running Snow Leopard now find themselves in a very vulnerable state without the latest security updates."

Yet Mavericks hasn't had any Metro like interface reboot...
And the Mavericks improvements I describe are most certainly noticeable. Most people use laptops these days and more than an hour extra battery life really makes a difference.
