I came to this<br> conclusion for the simple fact that the release date of v7 was only 6 to<br> 8 months after the release of v6 or something like that.

Does anyone know if this is true? The reason I am asking<br> is<br> because we are going to upgrade end of first quarter next year, and I<br> am<br> trying to decide if we will go with 6.1 or 7. If I go with 7 I won't<br> have to worry about a major upgrade for another 3 to 5 years, only<br> minor<br> upgrades. Has anyone had any direct experience with 7? Please share<br> any useful information you may have.
