It's much cheaper just to pay a company like MS who take upgrade transitions seriously.
Right, because I know I always deploy a new MAJOR VERSION of software without testing it. </sarcasm> Almost every piece of software I've seen uses a major version bump to indicate that backwards incompatible changes have been made. These don't always (and sometimes can't) have an upgrade path that works for everyone. I'm not saying this is such a case, as I haven't looked at the facts, but it seems excessive to insinuate that Timo doesn't "take upgrade transitions seriously".
