hey Marc, you're not alone !!! As well as you, i also expect
software updates to be always perfect and magic .... so i dont have to
have a clue of what i'm real doing, as softwares will take care of all
the inteligence that i should have.
but, i think different from you, i understand and accept that
there's no magic.
upgrades on complex environment MUST be planned, new version
features should be understood and in almost all cases, including some M$
updates of complex software/ environment, lots of pre-upgrade and
post-upgrades actions should be taken.
i would love to just click yes yes and everything works as magic
.... but, unfortunelly, i accept that wont happen in the real (and most
all the times complex) scenarios we have.
