Should you update? "Signs point to yes"

First off, I apologize for not keeping this blog regularly updated.  Balancing projects and the holiday season tends to make one procrastinate. 

After a quick scan of the list of fixes, it appears this release only adds stability improvements on top of what was Update Rollup 7′s big changes.  Update Rollup 7 is not a pre-requisite.  You can install UR8 on any server deployment of CRM 4.0 because it’s a cumulative update.  Easy!  However, you should make sure to to review the import and export customization file notes.

EDIT: The Outlook Client and Data Migration Manager both require Update Rollup 7 to be installed beforehand.

Happy holidays!
