(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
I attended a seminar relating to Primavera P6 Release 8.
My apologies if I have missed a post that has been started already on this subject, but I'm very interested in the overall view of users relating to the direction that the software appears to be heading?
All opinions welcome

The client software will run in 32bit or 64bit.
I'm interested in the responses to your post. I'm a consultant and been using P6 for many years. Release 8 has many changes - mostly focused on the web capabilities.
With Release 8.1 Primavera has split P6 into 2 product lines :
- Enterprise Portolfio Project Management (EPPM) which includes the web modules and is clearly aimed at large organizations doing more than just project scheduling.
- Professional Project Management (PPM) which is the client/server model with project scheduling as its main application and no web modules.
These 2 product lines have separate databases and data can only be moved back and forth through import/export.
It looks as though Primavera is going to support its "traditional" project scheduling customers through the PPM product line.
Has anyone upgraded to P6 PPM 8.1 yet and got any feedback?

It was the client / server version I was shown. Seems to be very system resouce hungry requiring 64 bit and 8MB ram to run what looks to be slower than P6.7. I also believe that standalone installations won't be possible except on extremly poweful laptops?
I am told that a lot of people in the industry are very unhappy with the release?
You asked specifically about Release 8, so I must assume that you are only interested in the web version of P6 because the client/server version has not been released as yet.
