these issues.

crashing issues that cannot be reproduced.

degrading software the more we use it forcing us to rebuild computers
multiple times in the year.

service packs issues.

issues with gold partner add-in packages.

different issues depending on how i install to same service packages.

lack of in-house support to help with issues, free or paid by us.  i
am being told that this will never happen.

i can continue, but i have other things to do.  this is forcing our
company to look at other software packages.

i have had issues with CAD programs that forced a company to change
software but never from functional/support/problem issues.  i want you
to know that talking with other CAD vendors, they are gobbling these
issues up.

it just goes to show you that "never follow a winner, always follow a
loser.  you will look far much better."  iQ

iQ, you have many valid concerns for all us users.

One of the most serious issues is whether we can rely on the OS, and
the OS doesn't contribute to the instability of the applications,
which is sometimes hard to track down. Hopefully the OS is so stable
in the future we would not have to "rebuild" our computers.

That is specifically why I wonder about using UNIX.

Unless their programming environment at SolidWorks allows for easy
compiling in another OS environment, my guess is we are stuck with
WinXP Pro for quite awhile, unless we add another CAD program on a
Unix box and start migrating.

I'm sorry, but I lost all the high esteem I had at one time for Bill
Gates. All he seemed to want to do was milk the cash cow to store
billions away for acquisitions, and the major OS behind everything
remained an unfinished piece of work, in spite of having the
Bill(Gatesian)ions to put into serious OS development.

MS is truly sick on that account, because there is no law that your
software has to do what you say it will do & the EULA's they write
themselves exempt themselves from virtually everything, except
possibly a refund of the software price (good luck even on that).
