Now I like the bells and whistles as much as the next guy, but in my =
limited
experience with Veritas, you're much better off going with an "aged" =
release
rather than a new one. Versions 5.0 and 5.1 both had serious problems at
initial release. A quick patch made 5.1 usable, and a few MPs apparently
made 5.0 usable. Will v6.0 change this? I doubt it.=20
Unless you need some function of v6.0, why not go with a more time-tested
release ... unless, of course, you don't have maintenance ... then maybe
you'd want to wait (3 or 4 months?) for a purchase?
Just a few thoughts ...
cheers, wayne
