My farm is a clean install of 2003 SP1 with MPS4.0, no upgrades or
anything like that. The farm itself is extremely stable. I have 2
zones with 2 servers per zone and a single WI server (I also use CSG).
My only issues have been all printing related, but some were fixed by
hotfixes (Print Manager crashing) and others appear to be related to an
app I use that relies on a kernel mode driver. I use all native
drivers, not the UPD, and I don't do any imported network printing, so
it's pretty striaght forward on the printing end. I'm most likely going
to deploy ScrewDrivers if my testing proves to solve some application
specific printing issues.

Subject: [THIN] How ready\stable is MPS 4?
How far have things come? If stability is my number one priority should
I stick with XP FR3?
Also the real attraction for our company would be the apparent ease with
which printing in theory is dealt with by MPS 4 - how much has this
proven true in practice for others?
Also I assume the upgrade path from XP3 to MPS4 is not smooth and
possibly not even an option from what I recall reading on the topic last
spring? Probably need to be on PS 3 to upgrade to 4?
