In our case 7 was already out when we bought the 120 so its not like we upgraded it (we purchases about 3.5 months ago). But we wouldn't have been any less inclined to buy it with 6, all we need is a good firewall and some QoS. But anyhow, thanks for the input. I'm not positive there isn't something else going on beyond just some problems with 7. To believe that requires me to believe that there was a series of about 8 coincidences. And I don't believe in coincidences.
But it doesn't really matter because the alternative that Bruce and Drees are offering is that (I'm interpreting a little here) that Astaro put 7.0 on the 120s and sold them knowing that they had stability issues. Or they didn't bother to test the software on the 120. Instead of saying this is a beta product, they told me it was as stable as a Cisco or a Lok. So that either makes them liars or really incompetent.
What I was hoping to hear from people (I really wanted to believe in Astaro, I want an alternative to the expensive Ciscos and Loks I use for work - and thinking the worst of people is a little unhealthy) was that yah, there is some obscure checkbox somewhere that when in combination with this other checkbox and without a maintenance plan the thing crashes; there isn't malicious intent it's just a bug. I understand having bugs, I'm a software developer myself, but obviously you can't miss the bug when the device just "generally" crashes.
Anyhow, I've given up, I'm ordering a Cisco, it might cost me some money, but I won't have to think about it again.
