Re: [Trisquel-users] I met RMS yesterday. We talked about Trisquel 8, this is what he said...

You're right. I should have compared programs rather than the OS, but  
programs are no different. While I used Windows 7 it never even occurred to  
me to seek out newer versions of MS Office or VLC. The basic programs that  
normal people need haven't required new features in years. When programs  
update themselves automatically (iTunes, web browsers) it is an annoyance  
rather than a feature. Normal people just want bug fixes and security updates  
and don't find newer versions of software appreciably different apart from  
having to get used to changes to the UI. I'm certain that most will prefer  
the convenience of clicking "Add Applications" in Trisquel and easily  
installing a stable version of each tool they need.
