Hi :) Don't get me wrong! There are tons of good reasons for trying the 3.5.x. Tons of new features, probably better compatibility with MS's broken formats, nicer look and feel and generally sexier. It's the one i try first on machines i can access easily.
It's just that stability is not it's strongest point! If/when i run into problems or on machines i can't often login as admin the 3.4.6 is the best choice. Tbh most machines here still have 3.3.3 or something like that and are quite happy even though was end-of-life ages ago. Still less vulnerable than MS Office which is invariably fairly ancient and seldom updated.

There is not much we can do about that on this list. You need to take this to the marketing list as they are the ones that are pushing people into using the 3.5.x before many of us feel it is ready. > > If you are finding problems with 3.5.x then install 3.4.6. > > Btw sorry about the tone of this email i am getting a lot of flak from the marketing list for daring to disagree with them. > Regards from > Tom :) > > Another more important problem is the 3.4.6 will soon be "End of Life" (or already is). If someone finds problems in 3.5.x we need to get bug reports before they install 3.4.6 again. Some times acceptable workarounds are found, other times when a regression is confirmed the bugx fix may come very quickly. It's a compromise, and everyone should decide by themselves. "The Marketing list" is not a compact body of unified opinions, so please don't jump to conclusions as to what anyone there can do or not.
