<div>I'm planning on this upgrade October / Novemberish but have not started the research on it yet. If anyone has any comments I would like to know also.</div>

<div>I don't have the Windows issue as I'm already at windows 2k3 with Exchange 2k3 and Unity 4.0.5 UM. I'm hoping upgrading to 5.0 will be a little easier then Jonathan is talking about.</div>
