>I totally agree with you. I remember when they went to the current scheme. It was to make the disks easier to manage and replace. Umm.. no, it doesn't. How hard would it be to always have the same software on the same disk. For example, VFP7 and VS .NET always on Disk 12. When VFP8 ships, just update Disk 12 and ship it. As it is, sometimes VFP is on the same disk as Windows, sometimes not.

There certainly MUST BE some kind of method to their madness, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. The only thing I can agree with is when they replace a disk with a newer version is that it (sometimes) uses a decimal version. But even then, they're not consistant. Is it really that hard???!?!!??
