Avast 6.0 Update Notification Notice Roll-Out Schedule?
« on: February 25, 2011, 08:03:22 PM »
Dear Avast team,

What is the planned update pop-up notification roll-out for Avast 6?  Are you going to be doing another 6.XX or two before the notifications?  I know Avast 5 had about a 24 hour release time with updates spread out over 7 days to minimize server overload.  Can we expect the same with version 6, or say a longer 1-2 month window because of the version being brand new?

It seems the manual rollouts are doing great!  MUCH better than when Avast 5 was first introduced!  How long will version 5 be available?

I miss 4.8 and the ability to skin the GUI, I especially miss the LCARS skin :'(

LOL!!!!  Yea, I heard 4.8 is still out there.  I think support ends this month or next month.

It would be nice if they put in a popup so people could confirm the were installing a whole new version before it took off installing.

The full v6 rollout will take at least a few months... up to 6 months would be my estimate.

Thanks

Ondrej,

You mean that mostly related to the business users, or in general ???

Vlk, why is it so slow?
Why didn't you drop version 4.8? Why the business versions is taking so long?

If you can disclose these informations, of course.

Tech, part of the answer is in Vlk's presentation as you are aware off, and I can understand that ;)

Ok, but I wasn't there... I don't know the reasons of this (very slow) movement...

I don't know either why. But there is a time schedule, and I think we should trust on that :)

It's not a matter of trust. Not at all.
Curiosity, trying to understand the software development, understand the company and the market, it's more a personal desire of me, trying to learn and grow at avast forums.
