As I have done for many years, I look for the hardware/software requirements of any application I’m considering downloading. Sounds logical, right? It would seem that those few words — requires minimum OS 1.2.3 — would be simple to place on a download software web page. And yet, I would be wrong. Twice now I have downloaded applications to my desktop after I scoured the product website looking for minimum specifications (none found) only to discover that my version of OS is not supported.
While I might forgive an open source developer who is creating software more from the heart than the pocketbook, the same is not true of Amazon who was the latest to “forget” to specify minimum requirements for their software product offerings. Shame on you Amazon for assuming and we do know what that means!
