Yeah, I think we really don't have a choice. For me, part of it is to see what features it has and see if I want to update. Here there is no choice for a lot of users.
Unfortunately, I think AC has to play catchup, because some versions are put out quickly to fix the bugs in the previous version. I, like everyone, wish I could just see a new version and upgrade.
As Donna says, I don't use any other software where I wait until I hear about it for two months to install it. Occasionally, a feature of software such as Windows 8.0 having the Metro UI made me trial it quite a while before deciding not to use it.
From my perspective, the beta testing should be way longer and more rigid prior to releases. Just my opinion. Fortunately, I don't have many.
