[cisco-voip] Is anyone using Unity Connection 8.0.1?

[Matthew Saskin]

fwiw, I've got a large financial as a customer that is making a move
(initially) to 8.0 for most production users with the environment then
migrating to later versions end of year.  This is a necessity to get past
some alternate platform EOS issues, but serves as a bit of an indicator that
the general level of acceptance of .0 platforms has increased.  I've got a
number of customers lined up to move to CUCM 8.0 and UCCX 8.0 once it's
orderable as well.
