  <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Cedarcrestone/~3/4HWEjlLSceM/</link>
  <description>More than one reader has asked, “Why upgrade to PS 9.2 now? Why not wait—or even skip it and just deploy a future release?” Inherent in these strategies is the assumption that the cost of the upgrade is greater than the benefits its deployment would produce.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Cedarcrestone/~4/4HWEjlLSceM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
