[Elecraft] K3 USB Drivers

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

There is a difference between security packages and bug fixes and upgrades.

Security patches are important in our highly-networked world.

When an "upgrade" affects functionality, that is unacceptable.

The typical Windows 10 upgrade is twice the size of the typical Linux 
distribution.

Android at least does this mostly-right.  A major upgrade requires 
permission, security patches don't.  This isn't always true of 
applications.

Windows is not alone in this.  Mac OS has its own version of forcing unrequested and often unauthorized updates, as is Samsung / Android or whoever makes those systems.  Updates are installed at the producer's election, and as often as not in my experience with all three systems they disable or scramble the functions of some application I had been relying on.
