and that is good. That a change is good becasue it's a change, iffy propostion at best, a guy who's been around the block as many times as I have should know that.
MS have two sorts of upgrade
They change the wrapper, so people will think the turd inside has changed.
e.g. 98 to ME
Or they go for a complete game changer, but present it as a simple step forward like VB6 to VB.Net.
They are getting better I'll admit, I peresonaly don't think it's through realising they were c*nts for along time.
