I was thinking of upgrading from Warp 4 to eCS 1.2 because of the promotional pricing available at this time. However, reading the info on the web pages, I don't really see any big advantage. The only difference I see is the introduction of the JFS file system (which none of my HD/partition utilites support). I'd love to hear some feedback from some eCS users with other advantages. Give me an excuse to buy it - I'd love to upgrade, but at this point don't see any real justification. Thank you, Wally

Although your utilities, etc don't require JFS, you will get better performance using it. Also, you will get fixes for a lot of those little annoyances that you've probably gotten used to :)

Thank you both for your responses. I decided to order eCS before the promotion ends on 4/21. I have to think about whether I care to use JFS, since my hard disk backup software, partitioning software, etc. don't support it. At this time I am not dissatisfied with HPFS performance. The main thing I'm after is the updated hardware support, since I'm thinking of getting a new AMD64X2 processer, new mobo with PCI-e & a new SATA HDD. From what I've read, eCS can support all of them. I could probably get them working under Warp eventually, but I'm sure it would be alot more trouble. Thanks again for your insightful responses.
