In that case I'm fine with the change. After being bitten by Microsoft VISTA and many times by Linux changes that all just result in hours of lost time I'm a bit queasy about changes that mess up old things. I suspect, the programmers and companies who make changes that break old systems would take a different approach if they were financially responsible for users hours fighting an upgrade they didn't want but were coerced into doing.
The best example of course is VISTA but I'm sure everyone can come up with at least one. Think of it. Over 10 million copies. Imagine the screw up with that OS and if every user lost 5 hours of time getting it to work properly and their time was worth $100/hour. My math puts that as a cost of 5 billion dollars of lost productivity. All so Bill Gates can increase the size of his Gates Foundation. Or how about Apple, make the mistake of upgrading the OS on your iPhone 4s and battery life suddenly goes to crap. And you can't un-install the OS upgrade. So my wife's 4s effectively became useless after a few months of fighting it. My iPhone 4s that I didn't upgrade 2 years later still makes phone calls, receives texts, etc. Just can't run the newer apps.
