The x.0 versions are the ones to be wary of. Considering the troubles I personally had with 7.0 and 8.0 and the ease of 9.0 (the first x.0 version that didn't leave me pining for the previous version) I just can't wait to see what 9.2 will be like. Should be sheer heaven!;o)
So maybe you should just wait for x.2 versions (i.e if you can't take the heat.........!) if you don't want to take any chances. Good luck, HarM
