  1. Check for updates... by Vo0k · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ok, I read the title, and my first move: Tools > Check for updates...
    No new updates found.
    Why?
    Whoops! That's Deer Park Alpha 1.

    Admit: How many of you fell for the same thing? :D

  2. Thunderbird version increases from 1.0.2 to 1.0.6? by daveewart · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So why has the version of Thunderbird leapt from 1.0.2 to 1.0.6? Is that to give it the same version as Firefox? Very bizarre...

    The article summary pretty much sums it up, for once. ;)

    Not only is it a hassle, but how many people even KNOW that there is a new update? I've never been notified of any updates, either on Debian or Windows. I don't know about the other update tools you mentioned, but M$ Window$ notifies me when I need to update. So does OSX. So did RedHat 9.X (and presumably Fedora). Why can't Firefox?
