So how many of us are stuck with Frame 7.2?

I agree with Scott. For me, FrameMaker 8 is the gold standard. It supports
Unicode, but is not encumbered by the new interface and slow performance of
FrameMaker 9 (the Windows Millennium version of FrameMaker :-)). FrameMaker
10 is better than 9, but, as Scott said, only upgrade if you need some of
the new features.

If there's no business or functional reason to upgrade, why bother? At 
this point you're stuck paying the full price for an upgrade, so if FM7 
provides everything that you need I'd hold out as long as possible. I 
think that there are plenty of people on FM7 and earlier who are 
perfectly happy with the features provided.

Don't tell Adobe I said that though.  :o

There are some useful and cool features in some of the newer versions .. 
but if you're not going to use them, why spend the money?

Cheers,
