I don't agree, in a well managed environment you wouldn't introduce an
element that would alter the balance of your systems. If you have good
change management procedures and plan changes well in advance you can
keep

Thanks for the post Sean. I like to have a devils advocate to induce
thought
for all. I think in your scenario you have diverged into the surreal just
a
bit though. I think that we all would consider ourselves very lucky to
work
in the utopian evironment you have described.

Sean is technically correct, especially in those cases where the company has
a true "Change Control Policy" (which everyone really SHOULD have)
but in my experience keeping the hardware current hasn't cause much if any
problems -- doesn't mean it won't.

The truly right answer if you must have test hardware/software and test
everything before deployment.

One of the strong advantages of MSUS.

All in all I guess I just made a new project for myself! I love being the
new guy!
