As one of the original VARs to sponsor the astore development, I have a very different experience. I've found 1.2 to be vastly superior to 1.1 in speed, function, and reliability. We could not deliver our application under 1.1 due to reliability and performance problems. We are delivering it under 1.2. There are differences, but they are well known. It took me about 3 days to convert our application from 1.1 to 1.2 (over 250 source files). What problems are you having? Do you know the differences?
