You assume I've got as much time on my hands between versions 7 and 8 as I will later...too much to do right now...no time bother with the new stuff.
I'll be very busy until the end of the year and then we're only 6 months (hopefully) away from CF 8...I think I'll use CF 7 as a development platform (which is already installed and running with Apache) for CF 4.5...I'll just have to make sure I don't go beyond 4.5's capabilities. Then, perhaps, in the little spare time I might have, I can try out some of CF 7's goodies...but I won't have time for any serious development with it...got too much to do too fast for a learning curve.

There's a lot more stuff between 4.5 and 7 that you'll need to learn, than between 7 and 8. Components alone will take quite a bit of time for you to learn fully. Just download CF 7 and install the free developer version, and start learning. If you don't hook it to your existing web server, you can use the built-in web server and leave your existing CF development setup untouched.
