Almost all my frustrations are with Microsoft. Over half the development I did last year was simply handling differences between Win7x64 and previous versions.. which in turn meant upgrading my development platforms (Delphi and .Net) and dealing with THEIR backward incompatibilities, spending stupid amounts on new installation software to rebuild all my setups and discovering that they were also not backward compatible with regard to the plug-in DLLs I needed (and the first one I bought ONLY worked on Win7 and not on XP, as I discovered too late), and then changing my licensing routines and where I install data .. did you know that there is actually now NO place in Windows 7 where you can officially install updatable files that can be shared between users without breaking UAC? All of which has taken months of my time that should have been better spent on improving the products, not hitting my head against whatever walls Microsoft keeps raising. So compared to that, it's nice to have at least one platform (U2) that remains relatively stable! Rant over .. for now.

I've also noticed that every upgrade breaks something. Sometimes you get lucky and things run for 10 years, then one day, BAM! A program stops working after you upgrade the database. It's the nature of the job. Things change. Things break. Things need to be fixed. That is what testing is for.
