Pay No Attention To That Last Post

Posted on 05:47 by Unknown
My last blog post may have expressed some negative views toward software upgrades:
I know I'll take some slack for this, but: why did you all go and grab an OS update so fast? What have you gained? The down-side is lost time and application compatibility problems...was it worth it?
That blog post was of course not my real opinion, but rather a recreation of the evil Ben. Always upgrade your software to the newest version whenever it comes out!
