Besides bugfixes, the three companies behind these OS don't want (and obviously don't expect) their users to understand what and why is updated - as I guess many "updates" are _not_ in the interrest of the user, and others would reveal how badly their software were programmed. We allready had the "have you checked for a virus" question any time we asked a vendor about a problem, now comes the "did you upgrade to the latest version". I have many times read about some software: "it has not been updated in the last six month, so it's probably dead". When will someone start advertising his work with "it's so good I did not need to update it in a year"? And what about all these people who update and then fill the forums with compains about what no more works? Just for fun, I've upgraded my (only) Windows (7) setup to Windows 10 (technical preview): given the number of (old) programs than won't run on 10 I can tell you the update in anything but "free" as far as I am concerned. As this was done on a cloned harddisk, I was quickly back to normal. This Windows set up will stay at 7 and continue to be used once a year (on hollydays, when I can go back to infancy and replay games of the 20th century :)) I have more problems with Android - I spend more time selecting all the apps I have to detach from Market so that they are _not_ updated than for the update itself. Although I don't like Ubuntu, I start to hope for an Ubuntu for phones soon... Thierry
