I used 9 until upgrading to 12 this past November. Prior to 9, I used FC6. I still have 9 installed as a failsafe, which will remain until replaced by my next upgrade, probably 15 with 12 relegated to failsafe. I usually, at least for the past 4 or 5 years or so, only upgrade every 3rd release as this seems to offer an optimum balance among security, stability, support and features with minimum upgrading. (I'm a lazy, and consider procrastination a good character trait.) I also don't upgrade hardware all that often either. (I'm lazy. Oh! I already said that. Well, bears repeating.) I have no pathological complusion to build a new, cutting edge system every year or so as some do. I try to initially build one that will fulfill my requirements and is compatible with the software for 5 to 7 years with only minor hardware changes, i.e. additional hard drive, more RAM, new CPU, etc. My current single core, 64-bit system was build in December 2006. I've made no changes to it since other than the OS and replacing the old CRT monitor with a flat panel one. With the two above methodologies--hardware and software, I tend to have few hardware/software problems, and end up with very stable systems. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and, of course, always KISS.
