Yes, because responding to someone who just posted M$ will be a worthwhile use of my time. 
You do realize I don't like Microsoft and largely avoid their products? The years of Linux and now Android FUD has soured me on the company. However, I will not ignore the fact that long upgrade cycles can in fact be good for consumers. I will not ignore there is something inherently interesting about the promise of a light weight device most of the time, which can switch to a real computer when needed (Windows 8). I will not ignore that good ideas can come from somewhere other than 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA.
Will I buy into the next round of Microsoft products? No, probably not.
How about this scenario, I have a bunch of computers which can only upgrade to Lion. How do I go about buying Lion for those machines? Point me to the official Apple upgrade path. If you don't find one, could you go ahead an pay the freight to get me a half dozen new computers in order for me to have a version of Mac OS which still receives bug fixes and security updates?
