I wouldn't go that far. 7.5.3 (r2 for PCI Power Macs) was really
good. 7.5.5 was mostly a virtual memory speedup and a few minor
bugfixes, I think (definitely worthwhile for the VM, though). If you
use these, make sure you upgrade to Open Transport 1.1.2 and (if
necessary) the latest LaserWriter 8 driver.
7.6 was nice, but the update to 7.6.1 is essential; a few people hit
showstoppers with 7.6.
But 8.0, except for the multi-threaded Finder, had to be the biggest
non-event in recent Apple history. Of course, they only revved the
major version to end the contracts with the clone makers.
Boy, this does seem like ancient history since I switched to Linux.
