Just 1 More Version Please!

I read an article on fastcompany.com written by Kit Eaton on Thu Mar 19, 2009 pertaining to and upgrade of Internet Explorer.
It seems that every time I get onto the Internet there is some new version of some program available! When is enough, enough? I think it is good to make improvements and software, I just think the creators take it and run! Not to mention that every time a new version of software is introduced I have to stop and take the time to find a compatibility package just to view a document or a window of the Internet. In my opinion, these are just ways to cause consumers, who honestly pay for the packages of software we use, to have to come out of pocket every month and its ridiculous! I always vow to abstain from buying new programs or uploading newer versions of software but in the end I am somewhat forced to do so in order to keep communication up. Leave it alone already!! Once every few years is ample for updates!!
