Invariably someone will post an urgent question about NetBackup 6 running on Windows XP by February 2.

hmm.. that can't be helped as not everyone have budget for the latest and the greatest much less for the overworked support staff.
on another note, someone could make a killing supporting this huge base... thinking out loud.

Turning this into a 'sticky' for a while as we are still seeing way too many NBU users who have not yet upgraded from pre-7.7 versions....

Im wondering if that is because a lot of folks are not happy with moving away from the Windows code version to Java... I would fully understand folks being reluctant to want to move to 7.7.... even 8.0 as smooth as it is does not compare console wise to the good ole 7.6 windows code. I think folks would have much rather seen you stick with the Windows code and not moved to the Java based console.

That's like saying you won't drive a Tesla because you enjoy waiting in line at the gas station.
