    More features and the occasional speed boost :) I noticed a nice bit of a
    performance dif between 4.4 and 4.7. I found the extra features, stability, and
    ect to be nice. A little after that I upgraded hardware, older hardware started
    having very limited expandability, and started tracking stable and have
    absolutly loved it. I have really noticed a big dif with some of the changes
    that have been made since 4.7.

    I have found upgrade hardware makes me happy too :) I personally would love to
    have a box with a few gigs of ram to use as a cache. More HDD space is all ways
    useful to me. Yeah, cd/dvd works for back up, but it is annoying for easy to
    access archival purposes. Better networking is nice to. I personally want move
    parts of my system to a mesh topology using firewire400.
