Do you think Apple will continue 10.1.x bug and security fixes for a while?

If not, no upgrade price is too bad.

    I wouldn't count on it. I'd prefer that they focus on the current and future versions of the OS myself.



    The security updates don't really matter to the majority of users anyway.

    More bug fixes? No



    Security fixes? Yes



    Security updates have never required a specific version of OS X to install. I remember I downloaded the latest one for my aunt while she was running 10.1.3 on here iMac. Infact, I couldn't upgrade to 10.1.5 until I installed that patch.

    How about OS X server?

    No bug fixes or security fixes unless you pay $1000 or $500?



    And even M$ provides security fixes for old releases.

    Well, Apple has never provided any updates to either the 7/8/9-versions nor the 10.0.x version after they were supplanted with newer versions. So, I have some doubt about support for 10.1.x

    Well, if you are running a server, then you are in that minority that really does need the security updates.



    Hmm... and if you're running a server, upgrading to Jaguar is something you don't want to just jump into, especially since it will break things like MySQL... but then again, OS X Server has that as part of it, so it probably only breaks it if you added it yourself...



    Well, they just did a security update, so I suppose they could release another one if a flaw was found. I don't know. I could see them continuing to release updates for X.1 Server for a little while... maybe... but I know they hope people will upgrade to Jaguar. I wouldn't expect them for too long, if at all.
