Â*Â*Â* My copy seems to be dated 2013. I don't have
any problems. I do see problems, however, with
the assumption that newer is better. After all,
that's how you got stuck with Win10.


Apparently, you don't read the fixes included in the FZ updates. After
all, that's why you think XP is a good OS.


The extent to which you should be "fixated" on
patches, depends on the development model.

As well a the risk involved in the use of the app. I don't care so much
about patches to apps that primarily involve off-line uses. However, FZ
is ONLY used for on-line connections to servers and file transfers, and
as such is a prime target for hacking exploits. The fixes that I read
address this (and occasional expanded capability, which is less
important to me). You can ignore that risk if you wish, and I'll
continue to accept the updates.
