I believe he stated that Cisco NAC Release 4.7.1 is planned for release
the week of November 23, 2009, and it will contain agents for Mac OSX 10.6
and Windows 7. This is the 4.7.0 release presumably. However, the OS
change makes an upgrade look pretty brutal! I won't be first!

A thorough reading of the release notes shows the conspicuous absence of
claims of compatibility or support for either Win 7 and/or Snow Leopard.
So much for Mahesh's sage wisdom. Perhaps they slid it in under the
radar?
Also of note is that because the OS is changing from Fedora to CentOS
5.3 the creation of an ISO boot disk and install is the upgrade
methodology required rather than the good old "upload the tar file"
upgrade method. (Got to boot the new OS kernel.)
Who's going to upgrade first??

Here's what I got from the release notes:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/security/nac/appliance/release_notes/47/47rn.html#wp602636
* FIPS Compliant
* OS Change from Fedora Core to CentOS 5.3
* The CAM no longer waits for all CASs to be connected and synced up before
accepting any web console input
* The CAM no longer assumes that a CAS is out of sync and automatically
publishes a complete reconfiguration when intermittent WAN connectivity leads
to temporary communication lapses between the CAM and CAS
* All writes to the CAS are now serialized for consistency and integrity of
configuration data.
* The Cisco NAC Agent Version 4.7.1.15 for Windows systems is a completely
redesigned and enhanced client for Cisco NAC Appliance
* The ability to use the serial interface to provide a redundant heartbeat
interface connection between CAMs/CASs is being deprecated
Fixed in the AGENT (not serverside, client side)
* Registry check not working for REG_EXPAND_SZ type FIXED
I'm sure there is other things. Didn't read the Open Caveats
