     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.
