I have never been too big on laws and rules.
But there really needs to be a law in the computer world that prevents Friday releases of software.
Avast join the crowd of releasing garbage on Friday.
<snip>
A Friday you say, many avast releases have happened on a Saturday and some on Sunday.
Garbage you say, a bit strong, if you can't accept the anomalies of beta testing then don't join in.
It has nothing to do with Saturday or Sunday releases. I have never found a problem with those. It is only Friday releases.
Secondly. I wouldn't pay for an avast! license if I didn't trust them. So I trust avast!
It has nothing to do with Beta anomalies. It has to do with Friday releases.
I have seen RTW releases on Friday that have an unusually high amount of bugs in them because IMO the release was on Friday.
I worked long enough in IT departments including managing them and in Accounting to know that Beta, schmeta, RTW, RTM, Alpha what have you. If it is released on Friday then forget it. Fortunately this was only a Beta release. I strongly suggest to Avast that they avoid putting out any RTW or RTM on Fridays. Maybe it is IT Karma. I am not going to get into why it happens but it just does.
I will grant you that it was my bad to begin with and I should have passed on it because it was released on Friday, not because it is a Beta. SMH
Maybe there is a reason that Microsoft does their monthly updates on a Tuesday and not on Friday. Friday bad IT Karma, just plain bad IT Karma.
