Pablo asks about updates. I use Linux and updates for all the software come as soon as they are released. The Mozilla project is even doing some updates in the background.

if you are using windows, you can subscribe to a mail list for many programs and get a message when updates are available.

often the developers have two versions on the go with one with fewer updates (only for serious problems) to avoid having to update as regularly. security updates come out as soon as a problem is fixed.

I use j.river jukebox fto play and rip audio files, and Leawo bluray player to play video and dvds.
Geek uninstaller works great. Macrium Reflect has been the most reliable imaging software for me throughout the years.
