v8 rollout needs to be smooth.. THAT will be the #1 key, imho.. i believe a lot of customers will watch these forums for the v8 rollout and especially the support forums for bugs.. they might even wait for 8.1 for fear of 'bleeding edge' syndrome...
if all goes 'smooth' then bam!!
'smooth' is defined (for me) as:
1. documented well! (user, admin manuals, howto's.. something that has always been lacking)
2. minimal clicks to upgrade
3. importers all working properly
4. no 'gotcha' bugs..
v7.3 was an example of a ton of stuff put into one release and that hurt...
sooo, assuming all goes well on v8 rollout.. the sky's the limit!
