One more clarification...

Internally, we are doing some testing with the 2.6 MDAC in a few configurations and have not found anything to be broken. Since we haven't had the opportunity to do a full round of testing, in all the configurations we feel we need to, we haven't certified the driver with the 2.6 MDAC.

Most times when a new MDAC is released, everything works exactly as before. Periodically, Microsoft fixes a bug and we work better. Rarely, one or two of our thousands of tests fail in some isolated configuration and we have to fix that before we certify the new MDAC. I anticipate that the 2.6 MDAC will work perfectly for 99.9% of the folks out there, but we haven't proven this yet.
