Quite frankly, I find it annoying with companies feel compelled to do something every year, when the differences between any year (or even every two years) is relatively slight.

In my mind FF hurt themselves when they stopped waiting 3-4 years for a major release, and started issues new releases every few months.

I partly agree with you on that one!

However, the users doesnt have to update their system.

Also, with patchbeam you can set it up so it update's when you want it to without any anoying messages.

And Programs that require Driver's, Codecs or definitions such as Media Streamers, spyware or antiviru's software always recommended you download the latest updates.

For powerarchiver having the knowlege that you can compress using the latest compression formats currently available while keeping it backward compatible is a major plus point.
