Re: Anybody out there on V7R5 yet? Anybody know of any gotchas?

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM's early programs are a great thing if you are in a position to assist
IBM with its Beta+ testing.  It's of no use to IBM unless you can,
therefore many folks simply do not participate.  Plus, you need to be asked
by IBM, and they don't ask everyone.

A very high percentage of P8 users will not upgrade until the P10
systems come out.  I expect once the GA and shipping of the P10 systems
really gets underway, you'll see a much larger adoption of V7R5M0.  Until
then Rob, you can ride the bleeding edge and keep us apprised of your
various bleeds.  Then again, some of the software vendors are in fact
lagging behind a little, as they always do and will, although I anticipate
the jump to V7R5 to not be that dramatic.  The catch will come with the new
security enhancements, where vendors use temporary objects and don't have
the process in place to avoid the inevitable issues that come from those
changes. .
