DAQmx Version for LV 8.2.1. and 2010?

Hi everybody,
I managed to find the old DAQ / LabVIEW Compatibility article, but I'm not sure exactly what happened to it--it looks like the DAQmx section is currently removed for some reason (the chart is still shown in the excel spreadsheet which is attached, although it mistakenly shows that DAQmx 9.1.5 is compatible with LabVIEW 8.2).
Until the KB is fixed, here's a corrected chart that you can use for DAQmx:
Green = Supported in LV and LV Real-Time
Yellow = Supported in LV only
Orange = Supported in LV Real-Time only
9.1.6 and 9.1.7 have the same LV support as 9.1.5.
9.2.1, 9.2.2, and 9.2.3 have the same LV support as 9.2 (which also has the same support as 9.1.5).
If ever in doubt, it's always a good idea to double-check the appropriate readme for the particular version of DAQmx that you are interested in.
Best Regards,
My two LabVIEW using co-workers have two PCs each because of this. I have three technically but very rarely need the 7.1.1 box. It would be great if multiple DAQmx versions could live on the same PC and only require a LV restart instead of a tedious software re-install to swap them.
I definitely agree that hobbling our productivity like this is not worth the new features that all these too little, too soon "upgrades" provide. Not to mention the extra cost!
Remember though, the easy answer is to not upgrade your hardware. Then you can stick with with whatever LabVIEW and DAQmx versions you like until an OS incompatibility forces the issue. It's tough to not get to play with the newest toys though. 
I actually hate to even say this since LabVIEW is my first programming language and I love the quickness and ease with which I can write code using it. Trying to support massive legacy code bases with it is it's only major dissapointment for me. (IF, you don't count the Report Generation Toolkit. 
)
