I agree that it is a done deal, however that I think it IS the wrong message. Too many users have based their procedures on the current schedule and waiting two years for new releases will just slow down the implementation of new functions. The cant that 'many users can't upgrade every year so we will help them by changing to every two years' doesn't pass muster. This will make those users upgrade every four years now and penalize those who do attempt to stay current. I don't like it. Just my ranting for the day, Jon
