Apples arrogance has finally backfired. They are always so eager to tell people what they want and not listen to what people want.
Henry Ford: If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have said "a faster horse".
Apple became Apple, because they don't ask. They research!
I don't understand the uproar and whining.
When all your stuff works and there is a possibility to really upgrade in the sense that what I have is made easier, I would upgrade.
But, once I did my homework and a new version of anything doesn't do what I need, I wouldn't. And, what I have still works, no harm , no foul.
I'll keep checking out a little later if there is anything better.
Plenty of examples: Photostudio from Arcsoft., Quicken, Quickbooks
Not only Apple, but all developers should allow trial downloads for stuff that is rewritten from the ground up.
So far, whenever I read "from the ground up" it's cringe time.
Never works usually!
