Soft Phone vs Cloud Net
Posted by Cloud Net on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 @ 08:24 AM
Microsoft releases patches for it's systems on a Tuesday usually
which is why your machine has probably just been patched again. Their main patch day is the second Tuesday of the month - patch Tuesday. Adobe and Apple seem to release patches every other day. Every time I launch most programs these days they seem to nag that I should upgrade.
I use a program called TagRename which is a great little program for batch tagging mp3 files. Every time I launch it it nags me to upgrade. I once did click yes by mistake. It promptly upgraded to a paid version - demanded money and stopped working.
Did you ever leave a lap top switched off for a few months and then turn it back on - you can forget doing any work for at least a day as it whirs away downloading and updating.
This would be great if there was only one program or operating system - but there isn't. All of which makes the Cloud Net business phone system great. You pick up your phone and it works. Because it's plugged directly into your network it doesn't even need a computer - and it's free, no capital cost. All of the updating, patching, and backing up is all done for you, for free in the cloud. One less thing to worry about.
At least the constant upgrades give all you soft phone users time to go and make a coffee before starting work.
