Oh, yeah, that's right; I've never upgraded because Microsoft refused
to patch security holes in the product I was using. It was always
because of my desire for something new.
If I'm wrong why does the automotive industry keep pumping out a
newer better version of everything year after year?
If they have safety problems in cars, even those that are a few years
old, they have to fix them. If I choose to stay with my current car
(I drive a '95 Honda), it still works as long as I maintain it.
Hi Ed!
"They" are trying to stop that. Cars are being developed that will hit a
repair plateau at x miles/years where it will be prohibitively expensive
to keep them running and you will have to trade in. Not saying its
right, in fact, I think it is very wrong.
Regards,
Pete
