Car vs software: When you get a piece of software, you click here and there and everywhere playing with it. It hangs up, you start over. A comparable way to learn your new car: take it up as fast as you can and spin the wheel to the right. It crashes, you die. You wouldn't get a car going forward and go from "drive" to "reverse" all of a sudden. I do that with software. If it crashes, I start over. If you can drive one car, you can drive most cars. Knowing one software package helps very little when learning the next. Driving a bicycle will not help you much in driving a car. You pay big $$$ for a car, and bet your life on it's stability. You pay much smaller $$$ for P5, and it crashes, you start over.
