Granted there are holes in the newer products, but they are being filled over time. In any case nothings happening to the thick client until at least the next version comes out anyway.

As to Win8, I think the changes are quite large since the user interface changed so much, and it's going to take some time to get through the QA cycle with it. It's still such a small market that I would not spend any money on it yet.

There's a few things I like about IBM i Access for Windows vs the Java
client. I do not think the Windows client should be dropped.
- iNav. I know the big push is for the web version but it's still lacking
a lot. Like how to start the http admin client.:-) Support for
multiple servers in Management Central (or is that there?).
- Integration into Windows. I log into Windows and use my Windows
credentials for 5250. A real show stopper for a SSO/EIM shop with no
local password management for the IBM i account.
