OK! See, that tells me that the Win2008 R2 support is approx the same, in 
7.5.x and 7.6.x, as of now. And that the equality might/probably will 
change, once SP2 for 7.6 comes out.

Which would lead me to think that upgrading now to 7.6.x would probably be 
the way to go. So that if there are any quirks upgrading (I doubt it), 
better to resolve them now, rather than later with any quirks that SP2 
might also introduce.

That helped. Thanks! :-)

One last question - upgrading to 7.6 is pretty much the same procedure as 
prior upgrades - install over top of existing, and then be sure to get 
proper enabler code from licensing within the specified time period?
