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.
