Changelogs are nice
I’m talking to you, Windows Live 8046.206. If you’re going to make me go through a 5 minute installation, you could at least tell me what’s changed so I can look forward to it, especially when your latest update has no visible changes.
You see, I’m thrilled at the knowledge that some piece of the software I use every day received an update and got a little bit better. Maybe a potential security problem was solved, maybe some performance was added, or maybe some kink was ironed out. Whatever it was, I love the feeling that something that was making my life an insignificant bit harder is going to go away in the new release. Even if it didn’t affect me before, the knowledge that it’s not ever going to gives me a little bit of peace of mind.
But, you know, I have to know about it. If I don’t, I can’t feel good about it.
And it’s especially mean of you to have a large “What’s new” button that just takes me to your homepage. Then you’re just being a cocktease.
