I am sitting at 6.0 myself and I am adverse to upgrading further.
Too much of what was put into 6.5 and beyond looked like quick fixes and
hacks to solve problems I did not have. Not to mention we have no desire
to pay the rediculous fee's demanded by 3rd party vendors, like Cognos,
to upgrade our hardware and offset the performance lost to these new
features.
It is all kind of moot though. Once we became convinced that OpenMPE was
a dead end we began the full migration process which will be complete by
October 2007. At that point the HP will be shut off and, other than a
few desktop printers not yet replaced, we will be an HP free shop... and
quite happy about it.
Comments are my own, not my employer's... Etc.
