Thanks Robert.

This is what I have done in the past, and all went well. Just thought there 
might be some progress in Major version to major version upgrades that I 
have not read about.

I need to reask this question though:

I have a build of 8.0 ready to deploy. Does anyone know of any big issues 
that are addressed in 8.1, making it worth wating for (when its released 
that is)?
