It seems like a lot of folks have run into software upgrade problems all together. @Home, Telocity, Abovenet, Exodus and probably more recently had some type of snafu which their customer service people said was related to upgrades in progress. Are we at that point in the upgrade cycle where everyone needs to make changes at the same time? It doesn't seem to be a common vendor problem, as far as I can tell it was a different issue in each case. But after a relatively slow period in December (holidays) and January; I noticed an uptick in people sending me mail about issues during the first couple of weeks of February. I'm theorizing there is some natural calendar function which results in people doing upgrades about the same time at the beginning of February. The same thing seemed to happen with California power plants. After being down only 3,000MW; in February California is down 10,000MW of plant capacity due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
