showing confidence in your product
Needed to update my current copy of Sibelius (a so-called professional music score editing software).
Here’s what Sibelius has to say about it:
Do not update Sibelius when you’re in the middle of an urgent piece of work: there shouldn’t be any problems updating, but don’t tempt fate.
Now, that’s showing great confidence in the products you build.
Thanks for sharing that piece of information.

Though I agree with your point, it is an honest piece of information, and most serious pros would never update under a deadline – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s funny and a bit scary, but mostly it’s brutally honest and humane.

Or mayby that’s their friendly way of saying “if our software wrecks your project, don’t bother hiring a lawyer ‘cause we warned you not to do THAT”

Well, basically, its the mixture of common sense advice and casual (trying to be hip) talk that annoyed me.
Especially when you’ve been through trying to unlock your legally purchased copy of Sibelius from their website (I’ve never actually managed to make it work!), being treated like a criminal or an idiot by their customer support because you did not de-authorize your copy of Sibelius before formating your hard-drive! ... and needing 3-5 days and about as many emails to be able to use your copy of Sibelius again…
