However, I think your missing my main point of contention. I'm screaming because they did it without giving users advance notice that they were going to do so. I'm expected to change my processes and learn the equivalent steps without having time to differentiate.
I beg your pardon? Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to upgrade your production systems the second the box is in your hands? If you install any system or make *any* change whatever on a production system where serious money is at stake, without first running it on test systems to acquaint yourself fully with any changes that had been made, and their effect on the system, your employer would be well within his rights to fire you. It's just not done. Of all arguments made about the loss of yast1 this is probably the silliest.
If it was an application firm that was doing this or even M$ there would be such a scream and law suites threatened that they'd be putting a "patch" release out the next day saying they just missed putting it on the cd's.
MS completely changes so many things between versions that this statement is just silly. //Anders
