Um, you have proven in the past that you don't. So don't works, as well as won't I guess...enough though, this thread isn't about you.

So, after playing the witcher on max everything on the wife's computer I have decided that I will take it over in preperation for dragon age 2/skyrim/witcher 2/maybe risen 2 if this year oh and guild wars 2(this is looking quite excellant.)
One thing for sure about this year, lots of fun to be had by those that play games for entertainment.

Wheeee!
I'll answer my own question.
According to Desslock's column in the latest PC Gamer, Skyrim will continue the tradition of improving skills by use.
Since they removed classes, that means there are no major skills, I would assume. How do they determine when you level up? Is it triggered by the summed delta in ALL skills since last level up?
That would fix a character progression / enemy scaling problem, where to actually make progress against the level scaling you could put all your most used skills as minor skills and delay level ups.
Hopefully they'll get rid of enemy scaling altogether, but probably the best we can hope for is improved scaling...

The major skills have been replaced by your "highest" skills. All skill raise contribute to character levelling, but the higher skills raise make you level faster.
At least, that's how I understood GameInformer information.
Enemy scaling is similar to Fallout 3 and we get dungeons with level range too. Also, the game keep track of all skills/level/friends and will try to adapt quests to the player (how well that will work is another story).

That sounds like a big potential for improvement. We'll see how well it is realized. Thanks for the info!

The level scaling in FO3 was tolerable, especially compared to Oblivion. Hopefully they'll scale it back (no pun intended) even more for Skyrim.
No classes though? I'm a bit surprised by that news…

Interesting that a "class" is freeform and determined dynamically, sort of, by the skills that are the highest. I wonder if they will have the perks based on skill levels (like Oblivion) or picked by the player at level ups (ala the Fallouts)?
