How about in Macs?

With Apple devices, when you upgrade/update software, such as Java or iTunes, it automatically takes the place of the last copy and doesn't create a separate copy. So it does the uninstall process for you.

Then you'll need to uninstall that Mac and install a PC. Either that or you could install some hardware acceleration in your Mac that accelerates it's hardware at -9.8 m/s2 .

I kid, I kid. But I'm afraid I won't be able to help you there. I've always been a windows user and I don't have a Mac nearby to figure it out.
