You may have heard that the first of the promised frequent updates for XE2<\/a> has already arrived. If, like me, your first instinct was to reach for the “Check for Updates” option in your XE2 installation you may then have been confused to be told there were no updates. That’s because you have to completely UNinstall and REinstall from scratch, as mentioned in the official announcement, along with download links<\/a>.
\n
\nI for one am a bit miffed that this “update” could not be delivered as an incremental patch. 2.3GB is a not insignificant portion of my download allowance from my NZ ISP (45GB from Vodafone), and I am paying for the highest data cap possible (even then I routinely have to pay extra for a “double your data” block).<\/p>\n

Being forced to download a product installer in full<\/b> not once but twice<\/b> in one billing cycle is a serious impact on my data use.<\/p>\n

I can only hope that not all of the subsequent “frequent” updates will be as inconsiderate to those not<\/b> blessed to live in a country that provides limitless, cheap data over the inter-wires.<\/p>\n

And I can only begin to imagine what someone who paid extra<\/b> for the installation backup media is thinking, only to now find that that media is now relegated to use as a drinks coaster by this update, barely 1 month from initial release.<\/p>\n

Let’s hope that when I find the time to remove and then reinstall XE2 the effort will prove worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
