That reminds me of when the "New Coke" came out, and then was done away
with, and the renamed "Coke Classic" was, and still is, sold. Research and
testing could have been done, and the whole situation would have been
avoided. And whatever happened to Windows 9?? They're jumping from 8 point
something or other to 10. With a grin of orneriness, I'll say that I'll bet
9.0 was accessible and it worked well, so they scrapped it. In jest, of
course.

Yes, I believe the same thing. The most part of changes that those companies
are doing, ar only to sale the idea that the company is doing something for
their customers. Windows 8 is a great example of this. Windows 8 changed
manythings. Now, those changes are needed? Those changes improved the
efeciency? Those changes helped the customers? Those changes are really
good?
No, obviously nno. Because of that windows 10 is coming, and this new OS is
going to looks like windows 7, more than to windows 8.
Now what Microsoft won with windows 8?
Billions of dollars. The companies like intel, AMD, DELL, and a long etc
sold millions of computers when windows 8 appeared. IOs8 is the same thing.
The improvements are there, but the quality of the OS is very poor.
Oh, that with the releases they are fixing bugs?
Yes, it is true, but apple should not make mistakes with problems like wifi
connections, when they have a long experience with this kind of problems.
Every IOs looks like they are not learning of their previous mistakes. Every
release shows that they didn't learn of their previous mistakes with voice
over. The problem is not that apple, or Microsoft does mistakes. The problem
is that the customers pays those mistakes.
And is worse when the customers is happy paying for those mistakes.

IMHO, the phrase "change for changes sake" is one of those worn out
terms that people trot out when they don't like some change or don't
take the time to understand it. How many people who have used this term
with respect to iTunes 12 have Googled to find out why Apple made the
changes they did?
I also find it interesting how many people know more about software
development and marketing than Apple and Microsoft do. I can assure you
that these companies aren't making these changes just to keep their
developers busy and put out changes just to trick the customers into
thinking they're doing something and adding value. I'm also sure they
have more people looking at software trends, studying the market,
developing new technologies and doing product planning than all of the
amateur marketeers on this list. Furthermore, the future of these
companies depend on this forward thinking, whereas none of us on this
list have anything to lose if our opinions are off the mark.
Sure there are people out there who liked Windows XP and wish Microsoft
had never changed, but these people would be happy only until Microsoft
went out of business for not being able to remain competitive and then
they were forced to move to something else. I was a happy Symbian user
on Nokia, but I had to switch when that platform was dropped because it
was no longer competitive with IOS and Android. I'm also sure there are
or were some happy Blackberry users out there who've had to or will have
to find a new home. Sure there are some things I miss about Symbian, but
I wouldn't go back now that I've used both IOS and Android.
I also just haven't found some of these changes to be as significant as
some people would make you think. I didn't even realize I'd updated to
iTunes 12 until I saw the discussions on this list. I was still able to
backup my iPhone and install IOS 8.. I even reset my iPhone back to the
factory settings, restored everything and resynced all of my music and
apps with iTunes 12. Ditto for Windows. I've always been surprised how
much Vista, Seven and now Eight, look like XP after hearing all of the
gnashing of teeth over how much has changed. Sure there's been a
learning curve, but I've never had any trouble figuring out how to do
what I needed to do. Makes me wonder how many people use these terms
like "change for changes sake" or "dumbing down the interface" are just
parroting what they've heard or have actually even tried the application
they're criticizing.

Even after a few thousand years, it's still one of the best strategy
games for two players, and the rules of the game haven't been changed
all that much. Why haven't they? Because the game works as it is
designed to. On the other hand, companies like Microsoft are always
having issues with their new fangled, newly designed, current operating
systems when they had a perfectly good system, namely Windows XP.
However, they would rather stay current and innovative, as well as less
dependable and accessible than before.

Interestingly, you only feel this way when the product works
perfectly for your specific needs. On the other hand, even when the
product meets other people's needs, but it doesn't meet your needs,
you want the product to be changed. The fact is, other people have
different needs, and to remain competitiv:, companies need to change
to remain viable, competitiv:, and alive. Think about it, how many
apps on the app store have not been upgraded and are now effectively
dead? How many apps are no longer available because the creator has
gone on to other things?

I totally agree. If it ain't broke, quit fixing it!! Adding new

you feel that it is time to do so, whether it be to antiquity or
to appear to stay current, makes no sense to me at all.

Hello list
I wonder why companies always change stuff that worked. I try
to transfer apps to my iPhone with iTunes 12 but there is no
"sync" button and I can't check and uncheck the apps in the
list. ITunes 11 worked so well, so I am always wondering why
change something that works?
Regards
Fanus
