When exactly did HN transition from from fawning over one of the best YC success stories to being upset with nearly everything Dropbox does?

The number of extremely negative comments here here about using a second process [just like Chrome, Creative Cloud and countless others] to auto-update is really surprising. I can understand people not being thrilled with a kernel extension being installed, but most of those comments there seem misguided or uninformed.

The obvious transition point [to me, it seems] was when they put Condi on the board. HN opinion on nearly everything Dropbox does has really soured since then.

I started looking at HN right when Dropbox announced on it.

Funny enough, I came to HN looking for something like Dropbox. I even remember when Dropbox was doing odd things that Apple had to ask them about because they didn't know how they put the check marks in.

Yet here we are, angry at Dropbox for continuing down that path of making things more and more user friendly.
