It also very much depends on which country you're in; if you're unfortunate enough to not be in North America, like here in the UK, then the latest production release (on Sun Solaris) is still 7.0.16; 7.1 is still in Beta.

Would anyone from Oracle care to comment as to why there is such an incredible time lag between here and across the pond, especially when the release that we'll run, in an English speaking country, would seem to be more or less identical to what people are running already in the States?
