Re: CODE Designer woes

Ric,

I don't expect at all that either ourselves or Ibm will keep to try
following MS from release to release, since MS itself is very often not able
to do that.

WinME was heavily targeted from MS to home computing -they initially
underestimated both W2K hw real requirements and avalilability delay-, and
is not Ibm fault if some customer actually use it at work.

I know tens of companies extremely "disappointed" for these kind of
problems: their focus is not exactly in wasting time and money to try a
product work on a new MS release. Why should the WDT/400 4.5.1 team actually
invest on WinME rather than on the next WinXP? There are rumors about
radical changes even in IE (after v.6).

Deploying desktops preloaded with the last MS version is not the right
policy for a company.

Better to stay (why not two or three years?) on the actual release (i.e: the
last where you are able to run safely your preferred tools and solutions). A
large -multinational- customer of mine took two years ago a decision to
stay -worlwide- on win95, and they all are happily running their true
business.

More, I'd rather pleased to learn Ibm to invest on porting WDT/400 on Linux
...

Regards.

Claudio Gaiardi
