I have liked Mac's for as long as they have had OS X, didn't like them before that. Over 50 percent our Development/Field Eng team, have a mac. I've been accused of being an Apple fan boy on a few occasions. Unfortunately Apple is backing us into a corner. We develop Java infrastructure software and if Apple isn't going to take JVM on OS X seriously we will have to move off the platform.

As Winter Smith reminded me, 10.7 was a paid update, not free. 10.8 was the first free version of macOS. As William Green reminded me, until macOS Mojave, Software Update never showed major new releases of macOS. The MacBook Pro has had a long life thanks to frequent operating system updates. While the hardware has become difficult if not impossible to upgrade yourself, Apple has worked on extending the MacBook Pro's life by making sure its operating system, macOS, runs on models going back many years.
