Carl do u have a pvs upgrade guide?
I need to update 7.6 to 7.8
Carl
Why are they moving so fast on releases on xenapp/ xendesktop?
Seems like instead of feature pack their just changing versions now.
They are trying to do quarterly releases. Since 7.x is simply in-place upgrades, new releases shouldn’t be a big deal. I like having quicker access to new features and bug fixes.
