The newer, the better?

Different from wine or umeboshi, in hi-tech goods such as digital cameras, computers, and so on, the newer ones are the better. But this law does not always suit computer software. New software has surely a lot of new, attractive functioins, but it also has more bugs and it requires more powerful CPU power. In most product software, programers are repeating bug fixing even after the product has been released. So, software is generally most stable on the eve of its major version up. Besides, we can get the mature product in a lower price just before the newer version comes up. I regret to have bought the latest version of a graphic software, which is full of bugs and runs more slowly, and which I uninstalled an hour after the first installation.

Don't worry. The story wasn't about Adobe CS Suite.
