No. I usually wait a bit before upgrading anything. Same for phone, tablets, heck I am still waiting to upgrade to Win 10.

I like to give them a few weeks/months to get the initial bugs worked out before I upgrade. And don't get me started on Blue Bell ice cream. I will wait a few months to ensure no one dies before I get some... (But it is really hard )

I pretty much just say "Me, too" to this.

FWIW, in the poll I said it will not be released this year, and I will wait for a few bug fix releases before switching.

I have no idea whether it will come out this year or not, but at this point, I think saying "no" is the way to bet.

Certainly, waiting for other people to find the bugs is the way to go, so I'll wait anyway, and I figure that will almost certainly put me into 2016.

However, since I will want to get a handle on the programming changes, and since, as I recall, you can have both NT7 and 8 on the same machine, I probably will get an earlier copy of 8 to fool around with and try to get some code working. But not for any trading.

But who knows? Maybe it'll be so cool I can't stop myself. That's happened before, too....

Bob.

I've been an active beta tester and I think it is pretty solid, but I'm hoping for "public beta" this year, not an actual "release." And IMHO if you like NT 7 you will love NT 8.

I think some of the answers would have been more accurate after the release of the first public beta.
As beta-testers (at least the first ones) have signed a kind of NDA I can't comment that much, but I agree with @dalebru.

I think what is most accurate is the trend where you come to their rescue at all the times.
Despite of your business associations, likes and dislikes, I wish you were a little bit more like @Big Mike and applied a bit more objectivity when it came to platforms.

I have to say I think you are wrong about Sam, I don't recall @sam028 coming to the rescue of NT. Not on futures.io (formerly BMT) at least.

Ok, Then I will leave it at that and take your word for it.
I have seen some posts where some other solutions could have been offered where some had issues, better alternatives, etc.

On a personal note, Sam is a decent human being, and a great guy, so this is not a personal conflict.
I also have have been his customer on the VPS, and he helped us like a champion when we had issues.
