Reply #4: Mate, I just want things to work

In the grand scheme, I couldn't give a flying fuck which version I'm using, as long as it does what I require. This goes for any program or OS.

Folk like you and I are quite capable of managing the security of our own machines and don't need to be forced into an unwanted update just because 'everyone' is updating.

What I'm finding, as programs evolve, is that they are less geared toward user efficiency and real-world productivity, and more towards us being directed down a path pre-determined by the program writers and developers.

Only the very extremely proficient use ALL the features of MS Office, Adobe Suite, Mozilla progs etc. I almost pee myself with delight when I see a mug user raving about the advantages of new features that they neither understand nor have a use for.
