Looking to finally upgrade our main production environment, which has
been on 7.2.2, and VERY STABLE for quite a while.   I've got 280
Clients, Server, and storage node, plus 8 dedicated storage nodes. 

Unfortunately, it is time to move on to the more "experimental versions"
of Networker, and I'm trying to figure out which one is the best option.


In February 2009, I upgraded to 7.4 on our development server (about 200
clients and 4 Dedicated storage nodes), and had major problems for quite
a while.   It seems a little more stable, but it took about 6 months to
get under control. 

7.5 seems to be the most logical choice, as we are running a couple of
Win2008 machines, and supposedly 7.5 sp2 will fully support Win2008.
How stable is it, and what hotfixes have been released for it? 

7.6 is the most recent release, but haven't heard/seen too many reviews
- either positive or negative, other than then new NMC in 7.6.  Any
hotfixes?

What is everybody doing right now with current versions, and Win2008
needs?  How stable is that release? 

TIA.
