It probably does not matter from a Windows OS protection standpoint which 
version you go to, moving to the NW76SP2 Windows Client would be needed for BMR

How can I see what is in the upcoming release? I can't even find a comparison 
for currently shipping releases. LOL

Yes, I could use BMR support for Win 2008 R2, but what release should I use 
until SP2 comes out? Would it be better to go to 7.6 SP1, then SP2? Or wait, 
and go from 7.5.2 to 7.6 SP2? 
And why?

These are the things I'm trying to figure out.
