I resist upgrading my PC or OS, for as long as I can. I have so many different apps installed, which I need for work, that it takes me a week to re-install stuff when I do an upgrade.
What was the switch to digital TV if not a government forced “upgrade” that benefited business?
The world market for TV was saturated,everyone who wanted a color TV had one ,or a dozen.Sales falling.So with stroke of a pen make users replace hundreds of millions of fully functional,useful devices;pretty cool!Especially if YOU stand to get filthy rich.
By the way, many programs that do what the user needs and wants are never released in new versions compatible with the newest OS.
