Before I became a technology journalist I worked in high performance computing for many years. During that time I got to work with some of the most powerful and most expensive hardware on the planet – Cray, Silicon Graphics, Amdahl, DEC and Convex, just to drop a few names. Part of my job back then was maintaining hardware, which included upgrading the operating systems when required. However, I tended to be pretty pragmatic as far as upgrades went, and if I didn’t feel that I needed to upgrade an OS, I simply didn’t do it.

You see I’m a firm believer in the old adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Having spent years dealing with the problems that an OS upgrade would inevitably cause, I took the decision to only upgrade any OS or firmware if I absolutely had to – thus limiting the potential damage, downtime and stress on my part.
