This expression was a piece of advice for people using Microsoft's OP
agains updating their drivers, only because a new version was available
which corrected some of the inadequacies of the previous versions.
Software companies practices so far have been: sell as early as
possible even if the application is not ready for sale. Leave the
problems to customers and release an update after three months. I think
lots of people in Germany were interested in getting the latest driver
versions which they regretted when new problems came up.
