We actually do track carefully which pages on the websites are heavily
visited and keep these pages up to date.

It looks like this particular page has not been updated in 9 years.
We've had 100's of millions of downloads in that time, 75 million in
just the last 18 months.  I don't think we link to this page in any
prominent way.  Google Analytics reports only 48 visits to that page
in the last month.  (The entire website gets around 20 million page
views/month).  So given these facts I don't think this page has any
impact at all on user confidence in the product.

So what to do?

1) Do nothing?

2) Delete the page?

3) Update the page?

I'm not sure user testimonials are particularly useful for to have.
Magazine reviews, awards, etc., have more value than an endorsement
from an unfamiliar name.   We do a good job on the awards page, for
example.  But I won't argue against anyone who thinks otherwise and
wants to update that page, but my inclination is to simply delete it.
