Frame 11 Stability - Upgrade or Downgrade the new copy to Frame9? HELP

[LGLists]

Have you (or anyone else) seen an improvement in the crashes when saving
books that have files with track edits on? That one of the big things that
bothers me about FM 10. I have the TCS 4 upgrade, but haven't done much with
it.

I've had pretty good luck with FM 9, 10 and 11 and have used all three in
production settings over that last 8 months. There are quirks in all of them
although I would have to say the 11 is the best (now that that update has
minimized the crashes).
 
The new "features" and interface changes in each can be frustrating to
acclimate to. However, FM 11 fixed the focus problem with the Find/Change
dialog and returned the ability to call up various catalogs with hot keys,
both essential features of power users who were driven mad by their removal
in earlier versions.
 
For those of us who use various versions to match the needs of clients,
having to maintain installations of the various versions is a bit clumsy. My
primary clients use FM5.5, 6, 7, 9, and 11 so I have various versions on
different computers. (Note: Translation work necessitates, at times, return
of the translated files in the clients preferred format, and with FDA
controlled stuff, mifs throwing out of newer features stuff carries the
potential for problems even if no new features were thought to have been
used in the handling process.)
 
I'm afraid to update my TCS3 to TCS4 for fear it will cause problems with my
access to FM10. (I'm using FM 11 onsite at my current contract job, their
licence on one of their computers). Of course I could just buy a whole new
license for TCS 4 rather than upgrade, but that expense makes no sense to me
at this point, and given that installing CS6 resulted inthe deactivation of
my Acrobat license after 30 days, I don't trust Adobe's installers to leave
other licenses untouched.
 
Details of my Acrobat deactivation for those who care: Installed CS6
resulting in a "non-installation" of the Acrobat X component since I already
had it  installed for TCS3. (A window notified me that Acobat X had not been
installed.) However, the deactivation of Acrobat exactly 30 days later
convinces me that rather than seeing this as a non-installation, something
in the CS6 installer flagged Acrobat as being in the "try out" mode and then
deactivated it after 30 days.)
