    Wow, someone took their time to dig up this nearly 2 year old poll. :blink:

    Anyways, in my opinion, oldversions are better. Especially if a new program takes up a lot of your RAM. I installed Yahoo! Messenger 6 on my Windows ME computer and it REALLY, REALLY is slow. I'm switching back to 5.6, because it uses lesser RAM then version 6.

    It is more of a personal preference for most, at least I think it is. I like old versions better because I am already comfortable with them...New versions are ok once u get to know them...Most programs are upgraded to include more user friendly options or add features thet are requested by the users out here...Just an openion...Thanx for the forum. h34r:

    I have found that sometimes older versions are much better, sometimes much worse, and sometimes not very different at all.

    newer versions are made to offer more features, fix issues, and ofcourse to make the company for money. to me, it depends on the program and whether or not I need the new features. like currently I use a 3 year old version of Flashfxp, why? cause it does the job I need it to do and thats all I need. so to me, I have no preference, cause my pc can handle bloated programs.

    i prefer older cuz theyre less bloated
    I agree, newer versions seem to be loaded with too much bell and whistle crap, until the newer software, depending upon what it is and who makes it, can cause your computer to slow down so badly, until it locks up. I have also noticed that some of the newer versions of software are bogged down with ads and other spyware, enabling some stranger to know what you do while on your computer. :angry:
