Re: Is V7R1 catching on?

Hi Mark

I beg to differ. If there is stuff in the OS that can be taken
advantage off - like the PDF stuff - then it is a selling point. What
I'm saying is that there are not enough (virtually none) of these
features in there to sell the upgrade.

I'm not talking about those who have given up, I;m really speaking
about those that *will* fall off the upgrade path because the 6.1
object conversion adds enough additional cost and complexity without
any real additional benefits that are easily taken advantage of.

No OS upgrade adds anything to a "Stable shop running a package and not much else".  Not even a Windows or Linux upgrade.  Problem is when you hardware gets so long in the tooth that reliability becomes a problem, you are probably so far behind the times that an upgrade is completely unsupported, and very hard to do.  And you may have applications that can't be installed or upgraded on one machine or the other, or a multi-step upgrade is required.  That kind of stuff is far harder than going from 5.4 to 6.1.  Once you fall off the upgrade path, everything becomes more difficult.
