So how many of us are stuck with Frame 7.2?

[Fei Min Lorente]

I'm looking at buying the latest version because our company is moving
everyone to Windows 7, and FrameMaker 7.2 isn't supported on that OS. It
doesn't mean it won't work, but our management prefers to play it safe.

I do not know if it is altogether a bad thing to be using Frame 7. I
sort of just wanted to know that other people are also using Frame of
that vintage.

If you check the PDF properties of Apple's documentation, you will find
that a surprising number are authored and published in FrameMaker 7.
InDesign CS3 is also popular there.

And the TechCrunch blog recently forecast that Apple-based readers will
outnumber Windows-based readers by the end of 2012.

I know the "FrameMaker on Mac" horse was beaten to death long ago, but
perhaps it's time for Adobe to consider reviving the horse...

Are others in the same boat?
Is there any point in trying to get an upgrade to version 9, and then at
a later point upgrading again?

Frame 7 on Mac here, so doubly stuck.
