The verdict is definitely in and version 2.7 is a winner. Even with my knowledge of WordPress I would not characterize myself as an early adopter of new versions as they are released. This is partly just my nature. But it is also the very realistic view that letting any little bugs or quirks get worked out before installing a new release is a prudent approach. This is an easy path to take with WordPress as old versions are usually very stable and the need to jump on a new version the day it is released is just not there. Now when an update or security release of a version is released, I install that immediately, but sweeping new versions can wait a while without any downside.
WordPress version 2.7 has been out for quite a while now. I am running 2.7.1 on all my sites now and I recommend everyone update. This new version is a winner, plain and simple. For existing users, the new interface may take a day or two to get used to, but it is a huge improvement. I hope they stay with this user interface for a long time. There are also many behind the scene changes that make the software better. One of the biggest pluses of 2.7 is the ability to update WordPress automatically right from your admin panel!
So, if you are still running an older version of WordPress, I say update now. You should be very happy with 2.7.1 and staying updated with future WordPress releases will be very easy. If you want help upgrading to the latest version just contact me. I will upgrade your installation to 2.7.1 for the unbelievably low price of $45.00.
