Who Doesn't Hate Upgrades?
The Significant Other in this house is still running Windows XP, and steadfastly refuses to upgrade software because, in her words, "It ALWAYS breaks something."
Sadly she's right.
Strange thing is, the one exception seems to be my Mint Linux box, that merrily upgrades everything without a thought, and which thus far has had only one or two niggling issues with software changes.
So why is it that I tend to dread software upgrades on our Windows machines, or my Android phone, or even my goddamn Smart TV?
It honestly feels like the attitude is a) we have your money. b) unless you want to give us more money for a new version you don't matter.
And what company any longer thinks it's acceptable to create "solutions" that only work on either Apple or Windows? Particularly stuff that's "cloud" based?
