I will be happy with my G6 being current on security patches I am still on December 1st security patch. My view on 8.0 is by the time I actually get it (if I get it) within a few months it will be obsolete

I figured the G6 would be up to date on security patches. Hard to believe yours is stuck on December. Anyway, you'll definitely get 8.0 if not 8.1 here in a little while.
