Remember that the M$ way is to force you to buy NEW hardware just to 
upgrade.  I really hope that the OSS community isn't heading down that 
path.  I've already got CDs and I don't want to HAVE to buy DVD drives for 
all of my servers just to do the next upgrade.  If the transition to DVD 
only is slow (several years) then I can live with it.  However, if it is 
forced on us ;(
