WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: October 12, 2002 Movable Type 2.5 -- "Of course, thanks to all of our users. From day one, we've been overwhelmed by the interest in Movable Type; because of this demand, we are determined to release the best possible software we can offer." (Comments: I started using Movable Type on April 14th. I think that I'm running version 2.0 or maybe 2.1. Should I upgrade to 2.5? Probably. However, I fear change. I don't like touching systems when they are working. I want the new features, but I don't need them. When it comes to technology, I'm usually driven by needs, not wants. What about you? What makes you embrace new technology?)
Reader Comments...
I need a better, comprehensive search for WebWord. Google is not providing that. MT 2.5 would. Better features and fewer bugs are why I upgrade. That's probably why I still run Windows 98. Posted by: Contrarian on October 12, 2002 06:02 PM
I upgrade : 1- If current situation is unsatisficing, or new features promise so much than upgrading seems worthy. (Utility of upgrade, added value) 2- If the upgrade is old enough to generate a wide rumor from other users : "you can do it, it's safe, stable,..." (trust) 3- If the explanations on the upgrade process make me feel I will be able to perform the upgrade , because I'm not a geek. (usability of upgrade process) 4- If I've upgraded the same product once in the past, and everything ran smoothly, it will help me to take the upgrade decision. Otherwise, I will try to change the product for a competitor... (previous experience with the same product has been fulfilled successfully) Utility, trust, usability, fulfillment : the 4 legs of a good user's experience.

I like that definition a lot. I also like Vincent's deft use of "unsatisficing" - Norman would be proud. Posted by: Lydia on October 16, 2002 12:06 PM
