[DUG] Turbo products

[Alister Christie]

If you wait until D2008 there will be major complaints - probably mostly 
relating to the fact that it will be a breaking release (everything will 
need to be recompiled), D2007 is only getting complaints because it's 
new (D2008 will be the same).  My experience has been that it's pretty 
close to being rock solid (like John says below).  Your best bet is 
probably going to D2007 with software assurance - I think D2008 is due 
out in the first half of next year, but Richard is the best person to 
advise you here (you can pretty much trust his advice - he's way to 
honest to be in business).
