Post by Howard KaikowThere are important features in the newer versions of NAV.
1 Script blocking.
2. Better, hopefully, email checking.
3. Hopefully, better heuristics in Bloodhound.
4. There are bugs in earlier versions that are corrected in later versions.
I never said their weren't new features. I would dispute your
blanket statement that they are "important", as only the end user
determines what in a program is important and what isn't. What I
said was: "Unless NAV2004 has included enhancements *that you
feel important*, there is no real reason for dumping 2001."
[Emphasis added.] In my case, scripts aren't a concern, don't
use Bloodhound, haven't run across any of those bugs, and never
had a problem with email checking [what would you define as
"better"? NAV checks my email silently and quickly as it comes
in. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a switch in
NAV 2004 that will prevent anyone from ever /sending/ me a virus?
Now *that* would be a /better/. ;->]
Post by Howard KaikowAt some point earlier versions cannot use more recent VDs.
The ins and outs of older versions - at least older than 2001,
were out of the scope of the OP's question.
While Live Update in its current version will not run on Win95
[duh, 16-bit], patches have been offered to update Live Update
for the 32-bit Win versions. Other patches were/are offered for
pre-2001 NAV versions to allow compatibility with VDs to be
maintained. As long as you're not running under Win95.
Yes, I can't get telephone or online support for NAV 2002 any
more. But I never needed it before, so I don't expect to in the
future.
