The December date was based on some vague pieces of information, if you search through the forum. I think someone from Phressia mentioned it as well as perhaps someone after a tech call. There has been no further information on availability from AC central.

It will probably come out in beta. Jon's betas tend to be rock solid but I usually play with them for at least a month off line until I am comfortable that they will not cause havoc in the office. Thus then you are looking at January for the release (if the December date is accurate).

What are you looking for in the hold for V5? It will have preventive maintenance which may not be that big of a thing for a pulmonologist. It will have some other improvements (like a working search engine, see other posts), but it probably will not be radicaly different.

Yes , you will need to reinstall the next version, I suspect, but this will occur periodically. Realistically plan on V4 and consider V5 for the spring once you are convinced the bugs are out.

Technet subscriptions, I believe, cannot be used in a functionng environment, but don't hold me to this. Action Pack subscriptions on the other hand, can be used in a business environment "to determine applicability" or something to that effect. I think they cost the same. You may need to do more research on this subject.
