Ron: Of course you're right about the difference between upgrades and updates, and the new features introduced with v7 were so huge that probably no amount of beta testing could have caught every possible bug. Furthermore, the ones that did slip through seemed to affect relatively few users. In fact it seems that only *two* of us on the LUG list were seriously paralyzed by the problems--a really minute percentage of users. After that experience, though, I personally would be reluctant to either encourage or discourage others regarding upgrading or updating. You're more experienced with the software and can speak more freely.
Legacy is a wonderful program and I wouldn't switch to another even if it promised to vacuum and do the dishes, but as long as my current version works very well in most respects I'll continue to tread cautiously where both updates and upgrades are concerned.

Very rarely does an update create problems, whereas with an upgrade of any program bugs are not that unusual - just look at Microsoft! Updates are aimed at getting rid of bugs and improving performance, and in my view should be installed as soon as they are published.
