• Adobe: 64% of American computer owners say they apply updates immediately

    Posted on July 21, 2017 at 10:27 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Adobe just posted the results of their survey of 2,000 American adults. The summary is a bit different from the details, but here are the questions and answers that caught my eye:

    Q: Do you typically update the software on your computer when new updates are released?

    A: 64% said yes, 30% said “it varies” and only 4% said they don’t. Note that there’s no response available for “I apply updates but not when the manufacturer pushes them out.”

    Q: How do you typically update your software?

    A: 41% say they typically choose to be prompted when updates are available. 34% say that, when the software has the option to install updates automatically, they choose that option. 3% say they didn’t know there was more than one way to update software.

    Interesting report.
