macOS High Sierra more like 'Cry Sierra' for Mac-wielding beta testers

Apples greed in releasing a free OS?

They already know it won't work fully on some machines so prevent those machines from loading the free software.

I just can't see how releasing a free OS in late 2017 that prevents installation on machines they know it won't work properly on from early 2009 can be seen as greed. How can releasing a free os 8 years after the machines shipped be called greed?

Maybe time for an upgrade (doesn't need to be brand spanking new, just new to you!!)
