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

[Mike Thompson]

As Irony would have it, I'm speccing out 8.0 for a customer right now that
has 5 clusters and about 15000 people world wide.  I agree with a number of
the comments about previous versions of X.0 builds, but also with the fact
that testing has improved substantially in the recent versions.  And I have
to say, I'm also in agreement that I'd like to hear about any bumps that you
run into during the fray.

Keep us in the loop and I will do the same as we progress.

I think Cisco's level of QA has improved over the last couple years in
regards to releases. It seems like there are less and less problems.

I vote you go for 8 for the reasons mentioned. Additionally, you'll
gain valuable insight you share with us :)
