Although not new to computers I am fairly new to SeaMonkey. I am using

Since my version works just fine for me is there any real reason or

If you have decide to use SM instead of IE, you should know that with SM
you always must change,upgrade, etc .... there is no "stable release"
IE updates are distributed via Windows Update.
And every SeaMonkey version is stable. :-)
Your post is a good example of why some developers want to do automatic
updates in the background and not market every update with a version
number.
That thought about doing updates in the Background. Is dangerous. If
You are a PC User you may not aware of the Mac scare-ware deal on the
internet where some virus developers have found away bypass Apple's
security system where you Must provide a User name and password before
your allowed to install software.
Your going back to the days of turning on a PC and AOL automatically
taking over the computer not allowing any other activity while
installing software. Your going to allow The bad guess the ability to
use techniques used 10 years ago or more to add virus, and malware steal
passwords, and such. The Mac OS will end up not allowing SM or FF or TB
updates because they are doing not what they are supposed to Bypassing
install safeguards.
So if they don't want Apple to Ban Mozilla Products they had better not
go there.
