 Isn't that the very definition of 'screwing over'. if I spend my entire life getting adept at something, and then the company just drops it, they are screwing me over. And please, the termininology isn't mine. I think the VB6 programmers explicity said that MS had fcked them in the *ss. This is a verbatim statement in one of the early usenet posts, and a point of extreme controversy in the VB community.

 You seem to be taking productivity very trivially. Change of enviroment is not an easy thing to cope with. Haven't you gone through all the rebellion that VB6 folks had raised against the new VB.NET? Maybe, it is just me. I have the ability to sympathize with other people's plight even though it doesn't directly affect me. What I said has nothing to do with my personal opionion, but I am merely repeating what every VB6 expert has stated.

 And now with Powershell, it just got worse.

 I believe in building incredibly complex systems that can do everthing. I really hate the cacaphony of a myriad small systems all interacting haphazardly.
