We too have upgraded and been generally happy. I found one new bug this
morning while teaching a class. When you try to create an Address
Locator using a Shapefile, it errors and closes ArcCatalog without
creating the locator. Using a GDB works fine. We have also seen the
whiteline issue with aerials. A work around we have found is to slightly
rotate the view. Not the best option but it works.

Overall we are pleased with the upgrade. However, there are some bugs.
Two of the problems (bugs) we have experienced with 9.2 concern the
graphics in the Layout View.
We have an entire set of tiff images for one Florida County that we have
used extensively with previous versions with no real problems. Now, at
certain scales (1:200) in ver 9.2 the "white edges" of each aerial
appear in Layout View. Although the white lines do not print out when
the Map is printed directly from ArcMap, they have appeared in images
that were exported from ArcMap (i.e. PDF and TIF) and these white lines
do print out. And yes, we have the most recent video driver installed
Another issues concerns changing printers/page sizes in Layout View.
Rather than correctly 'Scaling Map Elements proportionally to changes in
Page Size' in the Page and Print Setup, when we change Page Size (i.e.
change printers/plotter along with page size) the map Elements will
scale to a size much larger than the paper size. We did not have this
problem with previous versions.
The other bug that has been in all the versions since 8.0 is the
(intermittent) problem in Layout View with the Text and Borders. To the
eye the text may appear set the correct distance from a border (i.e.
Legend Border). However, it may print out with some text outside the
border. I would like to see this bug fixed.
All this having been said, the new version has some welcome
improvements. Too bad, one mayor one, the creation of cartographic
representations, was not included with the basic ArcView License.

I upgraded the other day. I haven't had any major problems or come
across any major bugs. It saves to a new version of mxd's, but you can
save back to 9.0/9.1. The geodatabases are a new version too. You can
keep your 9.1 geodatabases as 9.1 or upgrade them, but you can't go back
again. I've had problems with batch project, and I'm not sure what's
causing it. Although, now you can right click on any tool in the
toolbox to get batch functionality. I like that you can now zoom in and
out with the scroll wheel, and you can use the scroll wheel in the VBA
editor. I also did the tutorial on Representations. That looks like it
will be pretty useful, clearly they are trying to add some of the
functionality of a graphics package like Illustrator.
If you do any programming, they've added some handy templates that work
with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (installed separately). But some
of the .net assemblies seem to have changed, so you'll need to go back
through your code to get the programs to work with the latest version,
and I suspect that 9.2 customizations will not be backwards compatible.
Just what I've come across so far,
David

Larry,
We've upgraded. It was about average as far as time spent uninstalling
old versions and then installing new versions. That takes about an
hour. After installing 9.2, some of us had real performance issues.
Defragmenting the hard drive helped that issue. One of my scripts seems
to have ceased to work since the upgrade. We also upgraded to the new
File Geodatabase. We have not seen any improvements over the personal
GeoDatabase. If anything, it is slower. I'd like to know of others'
experience with the File Geodatabase.
