I agree.  I have been using 7.3 since it was released.  We recently upgraded to 
7.3.1.  All I can say is problems, problems, problems.  I will try to be more 
specific when I resolve my current 7.3.1 issue.  Personally, I like the GUI but 
the technical problems are taking all my time.  Just stay away from 7.3.x!

What I am doing is using 7.2.1 on the clients/servers and then loaded one 7.3.1 
client to use the reporting tools from 7.3.1.

I don't mind saying hold off on upgrading for tech reasons. But when you start 
mentioning preferred color schemes /shrug you sound OLD. /Ducking and Running
