I really could convince some of my customers to install the MC version 
for their
OS, after explaining that there would not be thousands of DLLs on their 
HD after
installation, and that it would be nothing more than a MC-Player (sic!) 
;-),
so i could deliver some of my projects as stacks...

...which is a fine thing, filesize-wise :-)

In the future i would have to spend some extra time to create some kind 
of
MC-Player from scratch. OK, its doable, but should be avoidable...

Exactly!

Hmm, i still learn something new in MC every day (and especially in RR 
;-),
but having a HC/SC background i could finish that CD in about 2 months,
including image editing in Photoshop (which i really love :-)...

It wasn't really more than something like "go next cd" etc...,
but someone had to do it ;-)

But yes, the learning curve IS very steep, but only because MC/RR is 
soooo powerful! :-)
