This puts the total number of Macs that went online in May at an estimated 15 percent. That is the largest three-month decline for Snow Leopard since August through October 2012, which is when OS X Mountain Lion was released. The article reports that from March to May, Snow Leopard lost 3.8 percentage points of its share of all Mac operating systems. This has caused a number of users to finally jump ship. The last security update that included Snow Leopard was in September 2013, and since then four major updates have been released for Apple operating systems and Snow Leopard has not been included. According to an article from Computerworld, the 2009 operating system has quietly been removed from the list of platforms that Apple is releasing patches for.
While this doesn't directly affect Mac users, a similar situation has developed with OS X Snow Leopard. Despite a year of forewarning, the popular platform among PC users is still in use by many companies, which are now scrambling to upgrade to a more modern system that is still receiving security updates. Earlier this year, one of the biggest pieces of technology news that IT departments needed to be aware of was Microsoft ending support for the 13-year-old Windows XP operating system.
