I don't know how supportive Apple would be, either, should you demand a move down from Leopard (10.5) to an earlier OS. But you are indeed correct that MS is being heavy-handed in attempts to force use of an expensive, resource-hungry OS, whether we like it or not.

This is the area where Linux shines like crazy. Want an earlier version of your OS? Or a different distribution altogether? Or a hand-rolled custom OS? Whatever you want, have at it – it's yours, with Linux's blessing.
