PB 8 or PB 9??

We are currently at PB 7 and are wanting to migrate to either the latest 
release of PB 8 or to PB 9 sometime 3rd quarter 2003.  A few questions:

1.  Is PB 9 out for General Availability yet?  I'm finding conflicting 
information.

2.  What is the latest release of PB 8 and is it stable?  Any major 
problems/issues with it?  We're just using PB for maintaining existing PB 
client/server apps.

3.  Can PB be used on Windows XP or Windows 2003?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

1. Yes PB 9 is GA.
2. Not sure of latest build.
3. PB 9 is supported on XP not sure about Windows2003 yet. Pb 8 is not.

I would suggest PB 9, we started developing inn PB 8 with a couple of builds
and found PB 9 to be much more stable then any of the PB 8 builds.

Just my 2 cents.

PB8.0.3 is supported on XP.  Earlier releases are not..

Sybase's eShop says it's not in GA, but that is wrong.  Dave Fish from
Sybase is looking into getting that corrected.

I would recommend PB 9.
