Actually, I think Tohoe is much worse!
Windows 8 is fundamentally just Windows 7 with a full screen start menu. This is a dumb usability downgrade, but unless you went out of your way to install Metro apps, it wasn't such a big change. Your apps worked the same way they always had.

Mac OS Touhou would probably be better received than Mac OS Tahoe.

I guarantee that there is enough stuff from 2001 that won't work in Tahoe.

Almost assuredly, given that 10.0 was released on 32bit PPC... and was built around Carbon, not Cocoa... yeah it's changed just a wee bit.

I'm still on Sequoia on both my Macs. I updated my iPad Pro to iOS 26, decided it was meh, and am not updating my phone. My iPhone is over 4 years old and figure the new iOS will run like crap on it and then I'll be forced to get a new phone.

Indeed, it does run like crap on older phones. You made the right choice. I don't feel forced to upgrade my phone but the new OS definitely drains the battery faster and feels slightly sluggish, making me regret the "upgrade."

What about the security update, especially for the phone ? There have been critical flaws patched recently.
Agree that iOS 26 is trash and it empty my iPhone 13 mini battery in less time than I need to write it.

iOS 18 is still getting updates. Same with Sequoia. Eventually that will stop and I’ll have to upgrade.

Apple already flipped the switch in December with 18.7.3, if your phone is capable running 26, you will not get offered 18.x updates anymore

Oh, I didn't realize this. I guess I'm screwed!! I'm stuck on 18.7.2...
Also a lot of people hate on macOS changes, I myself did not upgrade to the latest version.
