i definitely agree with Rob on this one, 4.2(3) has been always my choice if you need to keep on a windows platform, far more stable than any other version and also quite similar in features to what you get in 6.X (4.2(3) provided the base code for 6.x, while 4.1(3) did for 5.X)

indeed the latest SR is 4.2(3)SR4b

personally i believe this should have been the last windows version released as it's the best one for me

PD thanks for cheering me up on my AM shifts Rob =), appreciate it

Hi Rob,

Thanks this makes me feel better. We will be taking over responsibility for this system and no one has actively managed it (backed it up, patched it, etc.) in a few years so I want to do a little research. Do you know what features this one has that 5.1 doesn't that stand out? They also have a stand alone Unity voicemail version 4.0(4), any gotchas with that that you know of?

Thank you again for your input!

Much Obliged!

Rgds,

Unity 4.0(4) is quite old, and was fairly buggy (check for ES's) and 4.1 or 4.2 does not have any licensing requirements unless you are changing servers (so probably no $$) :) so I think a move towards 4.2 would be wise. Here is the pertinent doc;
