This is something new for Microsoft: Usually they won't break their own old software with updates, they are known for keeping up backwards compatibility at all costs.
If you ask the users about it, they don't even know why they want these updates. Is there a feature they are missing?
New things are fun. Maybe there'll be a feature I don't know I'm missing until I see it. I'm hankering for you to amaze me and fix all my problems. Be my Holy Grail of (text editing, browsing, productivity, databasing, developing, life ...).

New things are fun when you are young. As you grow older you learn to appreciate stable reliable behavior.
