hi,

From the ABAP perspective, i will give out a few differences.

The WS_* function modules used in 4.6c has become obsolete from 4.7C. All the WS_* FMs have been replaced by GUI_* FMs.

(ii) Concept of Unicode is introduced.

(iii) Few tables have been modified in ECC6.0.

Tables TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively.

(iv) For ECC 6.0 is called netweaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.

ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.

For installing 4.6 you don't required solution manager key.It only having ABAP stack.

4.6C supports NONUNICODE.

(v) There is lot difference between 4.6c and 6.0
