More busy work! It's kinda like the PC vs. Mac thing... I guarantee you that if you have two system administrators, both who manage a multi-server environment, the PC admin will have much more work to do on a time basis than the Mac admin. In fact the Mac Admin may very well have to fight for his/her validity in a department. ;-) ...Same with PHP vs. WebDNA, Constant security patches, paid upgrades, make PHP more time intensive, thus losing the energy (costs) to results value. There may be other factors besides "main-stream" that cause a system to be hacked more however.... such as, I believe the mac's are simply just better systems than PC's.. and if the auto-update is used, I think, even if macs were main stream, that they still would not be compromised as much as the PC's are. Right now, I can't say that much for WebDNA as there is at least one serious hole in the engine... but it would not take much to get the engine to a secure place. ....to keep on subject ;-)... The benefits of upgrading will be a little bit more compatibility to the newer servers, and all the newly added tags (which are significant). I think also they made quite a few performance enhancements but I don't have any concrete proof on that and am too lazy to go check the docs on it. Go to the interactive docs and look on the appendices for for some good documentation on what has been added.. ie Appendix C for example.
