"Next Software Update will be Released next Month" and other Lies

0 replies
Been online for 5+ years and used many software services.

Every piece of software promises the next upgrade and rarely do they follow through.

A popular payment processor site promised over a year ago about a significant upgrade to their payment system and chained payments. "Due out next month." Not a peep more.

One of the best download protectors said that their newest and greatest version would be done in the end of 2008. Then end of last year. Now this summer. Still waiting.

Two years ago I was promised a video player software would release the update that included all I was looking for in the next month. Nothing.

Lesson #1: Don't promise it if you don't plan to deliver.

Lesson #2: Keep supporting your product. One of the above has not released as promised, but still has a 24 hour response. That I am grateful for.

That's my Friday Afternoon Rant..
