I don't disagree. But most software patches really aren't *absolutely* needed by everyone, so while trying to sell their new product this guy isn't really saying anything new. e.g. I noticed notepad++ updating earlier today. I'm not sure exactly what it updated, as it required virtually no intervention from me, but whatever it was it couldn't have been too important because the app has been working fine for ages.
