indeed...

...and keeping it up to date does not automatically mean you must have the latest and newest version. It means you need to apply possible bugfixes for the version you already have...

If that means an update to a major new version then so be it, but this isn't the case here.


eg: It is not because MS Office XP (or whatever) is the latest version that you need to install that to have all the bugfixes. You can still use Office 2000 or even 98 if you whish, but at least install the bugfixes for those (older) versions.

And that is what they don't seem to understand. Nobody is forcing them to use Office XP. We are mainly talking about applying bugfixes for the versions they already got (thus bugfixes for MS Office 2000 or 98).... But of course MS will force you to use a bugfixed version of MS Office 2000 if there is a major security flaw in it and that is nothing more than normal.


This is exactly the same for MSN Messenger 6.2....

There is a reason why build numbers exist, they indicate bugfix updates, they do not indicate major differences like brand new features or whole interface changes, that's what the major and minor number of the version is for.
