It also kills off the 2008 Macbook. Apple ditched 2008 Macbooks within 4 years support-wise and left them stuck on 10.7. This was due to the 2012 release of 10.8 as 64-bit only and the cheap GPU in the 2008 Macbook only having 32-bit drivers. This is one of the reasons my girlfriend is now on a Windows machine. Paying a premium for a laptop and having it not able to run the operating system released just 4 years later was kind of absurd. The flaky motherboard played a role, too.
