I'm working in an pharmaceutical factory, and we have one 7.3.4 and two 7.2.3 running, each of them in productivity and testing mode. we don't want to upgrade our versions, because of the amount of work, which will meet us, not from technical point of view, but in the point of view of the validation of our application and data. therefore we decided not to upgrade our databases, os (HP-UX10.20, and an older Version of Aix,don't know which one), but we want to change our applications to an enterprise wide solution.
One of the 7.2.3 will survive 2004, the other 2006 and our 7.3.4 will be obsolete maybe in 2008 our 2010.
The new application will come with an 8.1.5, maybe 8.1.7, depends of the vendor of the application.
