By the time Snow Leopard becomes a real liability, geeks will have beaten Lion into submission. It's like a month? out from Lion's release. Nobody who likes Snowpard has any business running Lion right now.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that you rolled that rug up and threw it away to make space for the new and shiny rug. Too bad the new rug still has some moths.
I do not like this metaphor.
Ok, how about, you built a porch, and you liked the porch, but then bees built a hive on it, and you're scared of bees, and before you were able to eradicate the bees they created a new version of your operating system that had behaviors you didn't like.
Come to think of it, Leopard did frustrate me a lot. I think I just got really fat and happy on Snow Leopard, and now that rug has been ripped away from me.
