The McThag household runs a variety...
Three Macs, running three different versions of OSX.
Three PC's, running two different versions of Win7(64).
I've discovered something odd...
We're very vested in iTunes. Spent a lot of money there because we'd flat run out of storage space for CD's and DVD's.
To play your iTunes purchases, in many cases (like movies), that requires you have an iTunes install on the computer.
Apple makes iTunes for their OS and for Windows since XP.
Chrome is the same between OS's. Thunderbird is the same between OS's. Open Office is the same between OS's. Firefox is the same between OS's.
iTunes is different. I have five different OS's and five different iTunes. On two of the Macs you could excuse it because they're older and unsupported versions. But Harvey's MacBook Pro is running the latest and greatest OSX and the PC's are all fully updated.
And it's not just the commands being moved around or renamed. It's functions flat don't exist on one version and do on another. Importing your library of media is completely different between platforms.
Oh, and that cloud thing they advertised? Barely scratches the files we bought, so now we've learned to not count on it.
