Tom,

It's really too early to draw any conclusions outside of what we've been told about 8.0 (It's the most stable version ever). I haven't had any problems, so far, but again, it's only been a week.

8.0 does offer some XML enhancements such as XML classes (field, table, etc.) as well as, if I recall correctly, some enhancements to CursorToXML(), XMLToCursor() and XMLUpdateGram().
