Will it be enterprise production ready? I would say no. The Spring release will still be targeted toward desktop environments with a few new features provided. It will be more stable than the release we are working on right now, but there will still be features missing. In particular for enterprise support, installation and upgrade. If you do install it in a server environment for testing, please provide us your feedback on it. Regards, sarah **** > > Thanks, > Ryan > > > Eric J.
