There's a bit of a difference between a $500-1000 Apple iPhone, and an AU$11,000 server though..
I'm just about to do this - GDC are charging about AU$550 for the upgrade and certificate. It's making me extremely nervous, because we can't afford to replace that server if anything goes wrong with it. But if I don't upgrade it, it stops working on November 1 anyway. So we don't really have a choice.
The ongoing possibility of bricking what is essentially just an extremely expensive computer through a software update is pretty pathetic really.
GDC actually recommended a trade-in replacement, rather than a software upgrade, but yea.. AU$11,000. It ain't happening any time soon, and if it does, I seriously doubt it'll be a GDC. It's only here because it came from somewhere else originally. The other two are NEC branded Doremis. I'd rather have all three consistent.
