Hi Mark,

Thanks. What makes it more difficult is that I'm not directly involved with WRQ, the middleware vendor. It's our application vendor who decided to use Verastream (formerly known as SuperNova). And I don't know how hard they want to push. And they most certainly are not willing to spend time and money to use other middleware. They know we hardly have an alternative for their software.

What I really was looking for are a few juicy stories about how bad 9.0.1 was, and how glad we should be that the maginificent 9.2.0 is now available ;-)
