I am so happy that they didn't announce any new Macs! That way they could focus on high-priority items like iCloud, Maps, and iPad widgets.

It's pretty stupid how they arbitrarily decide what is and is not supported. The 2014 Mac Mini is supported but the MacBook Pros from 2013 and 2014 aren't even though they're on par in the case of the 13" models or vastly superior in the case of the 15" models. Apple needs to do more to live up to their environmental claims instead of just paying lip service.

Anybody wanna explain to me why Late 2013 and Mid 2014 macbook pro’s are out? I mean, at least for 15”, from Late-2013 to Mid-2015 it’s pretty much the same friggin device. At least the IGP models….
I'm betting there is no technical reason at all. And the MacOS patchers quite often show that to be the case. It's a purely financial decision.

The funny thing is:
With BOOTCAMP and WINDOWS 10 my 2009 MacBook Pro still has a safe and secure OS

Why is the MacBook Air 2014 not supported, when it has pretty much the same specs as a Mac Mini 2014?
