Software Update is the source
it seems to me that many people didn't bother to read the websiteIndeed - most people just use Software Update to keep their Macs up to date with the latest software. Why would a contented user of iTunes bother reading the Apple web site? There's a new version of iTunes? Okay, better install it. Boom - as S.J. says.
Software Update is the source
Even if you read info on the web site it's still possible to miss new features regardless of how well they're displayed. In addition to that info, displaying an optionally one-time dialog at the time certain features are activated is arguably one of the better ways of attempting to get a user's attention since it's immediately relevant in that context.
I've appreciated those dialogs when first using other iTunes features (e.g. Party Shuffle playlist) and don't understand why it was omitted for one as controversial as this would obviously (IMO) be. Also remember this was a dot-dot update so there was less user expectation of anything new, especially when the Software Update dialog only mentioned stability/bug fixes. I did read info on Apple's site for major software updates to iLife and iWork but happened to skip iTunes this time. Anyway, I agree with everyone who thinks there was insufficient direct communication (e.g. a feature-activation dialog) about the MiniStore from Apple to users. |
