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. 

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 ...
