@Roger I strongly echo Jamie's remarks. Be patient. :) It was several months after the release of Drupal 6 before it was practical to upgrade from Drupal 5 due to lagging contrib. If you are not able to donate development time, or participate in the issue queues, consider donating money to incentivize developers.
@William Consider searching some of the archived Drupalcon session videos to learn what's new in Drupal 7 http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/drupal-7-what-you-need-know
