Long time iOS user, but just getting into the Mac OSX side now as my new job has 30 or so Mac OSX users to support . I had a question in my head come up while I was walking to get some coffee.
Why does Apple stop signing previous versions of iOS but not OSX? I can install Snow Leopard on a new MacBook Pro if I wanted to. You can install the 10.6 and not update it to 10.6.8 if you didnt want to. Or if on Lion if I need to reinstall I can just install 10.7, and not do the update to 10.7.3. What is different about iOS devices that Apple forces you to install only the latest version, but not for Mac OSX
