Hi Bsidmis, <br />
<br />
It's a 1 000 000 $ question you are asking... Usually, an upgrade like this should worth the move...<br />
<br />
I my case, we are planning to move to v6r1 once we wiil have tested it with all of our software. Second quarter of 2010.<br />
<br />
Here's a link that can help you giving an idea:<br />

v5r4 vs v6r1

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
