Well as of yesterday (1/24/1995) the MPE/iX 5.0 PUSH (C.50.00) has achieved
manufacturing release, so now it can be discussed (for those under NDA's).
 
We participated in both the 5.0 pull and push releases.  I have to say after
using the 5.0 push, I was quite pleased with it.  One of the most notable things
about the 5.0 push (and even 5.0 pull) was the emphasis on quality, rather than
a timeline.  Even from when the release was available, the number of defect
reports being reported by the sites were significantly smaller than prior
releases.
 
Rather than dribbling, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread to
freely discuss 5.0 issues, so...
 
In closing, although there are some procedural enhancements and other items I
hope to see in future releases, I have to give 5.0 a big "thumbs up" and
congratulate the folks at CSY for job well done!!! :)
 
Onto other projects!!!
