Because some later versions suck. Acrobat 6 rendered better onscreen
(with the smooth lines setting) than Acrobat 7. On the other hand, 7
is much faster. I have considered reverting to 6 to get better
rendering, but the speed was really poor.
One basic principle is that newer software is simply not always
better, and there are very good reasons for not upgrading.
True, but Acrobat seems to get better with every version. I never used
version 7, but I used 6, and the current version, 8, is quite a bit
faster on Mac OS X than Preview....
Would you really say that Finale 2007, despite its wonderful new
features, is a problem-free upgrade from 2006? Would you really say
that people should definitely upgrade, given that 2006 works and in
many respects 2007 doesn't?
I would say that I would recommend people upgrade to 2007. The parts
feature alone has saved me a ton of time.
Blaming it on the users is completely unfair. One has to live with
these kinds of problems because there are perfect good and valid
reasons for sticking with older software
Um. Ok. Not. Other than people with newer versions of the software
cannot send stuff to you reliably. Case in point, Finale. You can't save
in an older version format. You have to use Midi, or that XML program.
Who wants to do that?
