[X4U] browser decomposition??

[nk]

visiting a site this morning, I saw a link on the site; "Attention:  
Mac Users"

Naturally, I clicked and read..the author warned about the fact that  
no future versions of IE will be released, yadda yadda, then this  
snippet:

_______________
"As you may have heard, Microsoft is no longer supporting Internet  
Explorer for Macs…What you also may not know is browsers have built  
in obsolescence... they corrupt and break down after a period of time. "
_______________

"break down?" I'm no expert, but software isn't like a pile of orange  
peels and coffee grounds. it's code which remains code, while the  
world around it moves ahead, and so that code might become less  
functional over time.

Maybe this person was trying to dumb down his explanation of why Mac  
users need to look at alternative browsers, but couldn't he have said  
"browsers become obsolete" just as easily?
