I'm very much liking the modern trend of being able to update your products - it's even better when you can set them to update in the background, because even though I wouldn't, it's good to set it when I install stuff on a person's PC that I know they'll never update.

Last night I was notified the next ‘major test’ (mt) update was ready to download. This was the full 7 MB download, not just a small update so it took a little longer. But at least this update didn’t cause my incompatible extensions…
