I write code that runs not only on my box, but on many of the tummy.com
boxes, the machines at our co-location facility, and our client's machines.
If I take advantage of things in 2.0 it requires me upgrading probably
at least half of those machines.

There's nothing I really *NEED*.  About the only thing I really may want is
SSL sockets for my network backup system, and I can make that just bypass the
appropriate code when running on a platform without.  So, I'll just keep
happily using 1.5.2 and wait until 2.0 is more prevalent before I start
using it.

My laptop?  Yeah, it has 1.5.2, 2.0 and 2.1a2 installed...  Mostly for my
Python presentations...
