No.  No matter how good some people may tell you it is, 1.6 is still 
beta software and software is rarely beta for no good reason.  Don't 
even THINK about running 1.6 until it leaves beta and RC stage unless 
you are truly desperate for the features and are willing to accept 
random crashes, unusual behaviour and the possibility of things changing 
before the final release.

The company I worked for up until June this year was still selling 1.2 
systems until late April because we hadn't worked through all the 
changes and tested things fully.  If your company will depend on your 
phone system for customer service, don't take the risk.
