John,
We have been upgrading customers since last spring to V7R1, and it
has been rock solid. At the end of last year (2010), we were doing more
upgrades to V7R1 a week than we could really handle. Most of the V5R4
customer upgrades we are now doing are going directly to V7R1, and that is
about the same work as going from V5R4 to V6R1. Most of my 6.1 customers
have either moved to V7R1, or we have plans for upgrading them this spring
to V7R1.
We have been going crazy with upgrades, but I can say with the right
planning and preparation, they are smooth.
Pete

Subject: Is V7R1 catching on?
Is V7R1 catching on?
I know that V6R1 was slow to catch on with the install base, I wonder
if V7R1 is doing better?
For me, I had a hard time looking at V6R1 and seeing anything there
that would compel and upgrade. That's not the same with V7R1.
Can we get a show of hands? How many folks have at least 1 machine at
V7R1?
How many customers do you have at V7R1?
Thanks,
jte
