Is anyone else surprised by this EOL announcement? It sounded like they<br>EOL'ed 4.1 b/c of Windows 2000, so I was under the impression that with the<br>linux platform they wouldn't have to EOL these things so quickly.
<br><br>Granted, everyone is "saying" that upgrades are going to be easier, but<br>there are still some wrinkles to iron out from the sounds of it. And really,<br>only three and a half years away from the EOL announcement the product
<br>becomes end of support? According to the doc, v5 was released in March 17,<br>2006 - but really - who's gonna install it within a year on a production<br>network? so really, you only get 4 years out of it and you are forced to
<br>upgrade.<br><br>I'm not sure I'm buying into this practice.<br><br>I think you should be able to run a telephone system for longer than 3 -4<br>years without being forced to upgrade.<br><br>my two cents.<br><br>
