Title: 4.5 or 5.1

Tim,

Are the problems? Of course.

Are most fixed? Of course.

Are some not fixed? Of course.

Will YOU find a new one? Probably not.

If YOU did, would it be bad? Probably not, but do YOU want to risk it?

5.1 is "relatively" stable. There have been some major bugs, most of which are fixed. HOWEVER, conventional wisdom is that you should wait a while before going to a new release. Any business reason that you NEED 5.1? If not I'd go to 4.5 and upgrade in six months.

-Walden

Subject: 4.5 or 5.1

We have a fairly simple shop, when it comes to our as/400, and what applications it runs...

We run primarily infinium, net.data, websphere.

My question is to those companies running 5.1 already... Any problems that a PTF can't fix?

Or should we wait 6 more months or so? Just wondering... Were upgrading to 4.5 (because we lost our 4.4) support... So I was wondering if I should skip over 4.5 and go just to 5.1

thanks, tim
