[cisco-voip] CM 6.0

[Jason Aarons (US)]

I wonder if we will be on RHE 4 through 2012 unless someone is going to
put money into Matthew Szuliz's pocket for RHE
development/upgrades.....doesn't everyone need their bread buttered?

If you remember just a year and a half ago, they claimed 5.1 would be
platform independent as well.  I've heard 6.0, 6.1 and now 7.0 would
have this.  I think they will push it out possibly even farther because
I really don't think Cisco wants to utilize a Microsoft OS if they don't
have too.  If/when they come out with one, be ready to pay extra for the
Microsoft version since someone is going to have to pay Mr. Gates for
the OS and SQL and you can bet it won't be Microsoft or Cisco.

My 2 cents.

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 ;-)
