I read it too, with some puzzlement. From the doc packaged with the program, it appears the only item is a small enhancement that adds better integration of incremental backups of Windows systems that run in VMware Virtual machines if you have purchased TDP for Virtual Environments. It appears that if you're not using that feature, you might as well stay with the better-tested 6.2.3.0.
For now, we're continuing to deploy 5.5.3.3, due to the extreme performance degradation of the Java-based GUI client which I have benchmarked at 10x slower than the native MFC GUI client. I was very dismayed to see that dsmmfc.exe had been dropped from version 6.2 for Windows; I would rather see it returned to being the only GUI interface on Windows. After all, at many if not most TSM shops, there are more Windows clients than anything else. So it should be optimized for that environment using the native interfaces of that platform, as it was through version 5.5. Java has been nothing but trouble ever since the 6.1 clients started to appear.
