[cisco-voip] CM 6.0

[Ryan Ratliff]

As soon as 5.0 came out the plan was announced to be one minor  
version in the fall, major version in the spring.  5.1 was released  
last fall (and 5.1.2 is out now) and 6.0 will be coming this spring/ 
summer.   Look for 6.1 this fall, and 7.0 should follow next spring.

I have no visibility into the marketing/upgrade path licensing stuff  
so can't comment on that part.   There was a change from the  
originally announced plan for the platform-independent version as  
well as which version would be have feature-parity with 4.2 and this  
has caused much confusion.

Also note, that Cisco Unified Communications Manager (6.0) Business
Edition, is an upgrade dead-end. According to Cisco there will be no
upgrade path from that server neither to other versions(?), nor to
larger installations.

I find quite amusing the new upgrade-policy @ Cisco. Last year, they
told us at the local Cisco Expo (here in Romania), that 6.0 will be
platform independent. Now 6.0 is out, it's Linux only (not that I have
any problem with that :) ) and they devised a nifty scheme, how to get
more money out of the customers.

Basically, all major upgrades are to be payed for (so far so good, if
it would be justified) But I think whatever would have been like 5.2
(or 5.1(2)), what do you know, it's called 6.0 now, and they will have
for sure one major version upgrade per year.

And now they say 7.0 is going to be platform independent. And they
would probably deny they ever told 6.0 is going to be ;-)
