We are currently in the process of selecting a system to replace our
manufacturing system which currently runs on an e3000-969.  This process
will take 3-5 years to complete.  Our test server is a 967 and our
company policy says we cannot upgrade our operating systems without
first testing it on our test server.  We are at 6.5 but there is a
number of enhancement that will ease potential problem and add
performance as well as capacity if we can upgrade to 7.5.  With a short
life left and all the moneys being spent going toward the replacement
system, management is unwilling to spend any money towards a hardware
upgrade of our test server.  So here I sit handcuffed.  Also I know it's
been asked many times before but I've never seen the answer, what is the
real reason behind the blocking of 7.0 and above on the 9x7 platform?
