@TechnoSamrat – Thanks for visiting and for commenting. It looks like it’s going to be a good release. The changes in the admin interface will take some getting used to but ultimately they will create more workspace.

I believe we will also be able to reply to comments from within the admin area as well.

Hi Madhur – hmmm … that is bit behind :-) Maybe you can plan on upgrading to 2.7 a couple of weeks after it is released.

@Kristi – It’s funny how experiences, especially work, can affect they way we respond to different situations.

@Susan – I think that’s the general consensus :-)

I may wait to see how it performs before installing it right away…I like to see how things shake out before upgrading.

I have been a procrastinator when it comes to upgrades ever since working as a networking tech. It seemed like everytime a Windows updated came through, something on someone’s machine would mess up, and we would have to uninstall it and wait for a patch. So I figure if I wait on the WordPress update, then if there are any bugs, they will be found out by the early birds and a fix will be made, without any harm to my site.

@David – I’m glad you aren’t still running 1.5 :-) 48 hours seems like a good timeframe to wait before the upgrade. You aren’t waiting very long but long enough for the kinks to be worked out. I tend to go longer than that.

@kuanhoong – That’s basically what I do. I wait and make sure upgrading won’t cause any new problems for me.

I don’t think it is wise to rush into updates as some updates tend to make things not for the better. I will wait for awhile and if everything is ok then I will go for the updates
