Updating to 2004

Oct 13, 2003 2 Replies

Ladies and Gentlemen of this News Group:



I am a long time observer and sometimes poster to this group and typically when a new release comes out I subjectively monitor this group to see what level of complaints and challenges the new releases have. Based off this when the level of new release problems begin to decrease We usually update. We have about 40 People company wide using SWX so we try to coordinate these types of update.



What I have noticed with 2004 is that the initial level of unsatisfactory experiences with it seems to be much less than the total disaster of the 2003 release.



My question for those who have ventured into 2004 does it seem to be a decent upgrade? I am always leary to go with SP0's. Or as I speculate that everyone else has also taken a wait and see attitude even the boldest out there and so the apparent calm with this release may just be the lack of user experience.



Thanks for your replies.

Overall, I have found it to be much more stable than 2003 sp0.0. Having said that, there are still some things that aren't quite right. With 40 users affected by this decision, I'd recommend that somebody get familiar with the new release to see if there is anything in the work you do that 04 screws up. You'll also need to evaluate which new features aren't ready for use yet. For example, the new BOM tables are not yet functional enough for how we use BOMs.

Anyhow, for general stability, it has been as good for me as most of the

2003 service packs.
