If your plan is to deploy a new application without any testing, then IMO it matters not which version you select.

If the new application will be thoroughly tested, then by definition it will work regardless of version selected.

Realize that V9.2 already has its end of life date announced. Sooner or later you'll have to make yet another decision & upgrade to some other newer version. Received on Sun Nov 07 2004 - 08:17:22 CST
