It is difficult enough to get it working correctly in Windows. Most programs take advantage of the File System of the Operating system but ArcCatalog does its own thing (and subsequently doesn’t update when the file system does). grrr.

You must not have any power users. GE doesn’t even compare to ArcGIS. Labeling and printing is a joke in GE. Your not going to create and print a Storm Water atlas from GE.

My guess is they are preparing for a buyout by either google or MS. It’s getting to the point in our office where we are using GE for nearly 50% of the jobs that we used to use ArGIS for. The only thing that GE is missing is Arc’s database functionality and extensibility, and I’m sure adding such features to GE would be childsplay for the google engineers.

In my opinion the renaming of ArcGIS 9.4 in 10 requires a big new thing. What do you thnink will there be something big? Here is my list (and chance) what might come in 10:

I really don’t care what version ESRI calls their product. The fact is the prices are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain at small organizations. Most of the product used can be accomplished using Open Source (MapWindow). I like ESRI but it’s been hard for small organizations to conjure up the doe. I agree with Mark, there needs to be a sense of urgency within ESRI. The software backend is lacking in utilizing the technologies of today (see Marks post for more detail with the addition of multi-core). Hopefully, they deliver what the GIS and user community wants. Also, ESRI should take their time with this release to fix the bugs unlike 9.0. Multiple beta versions would be nice and don’t let Marketing dictate the roll-out.

Previous to this re-naming of 9.4 to 10 I had already heard reference to certain features being worked on for the ArcGIS 10 release. I am curious if that will remain a major release maybe Arc 11 or if that will become more of an interim 10.1 type release. Not that it really matters as it is only a name. Maybe ESRI should start using quirky code names like some of the other software companies? I can only imagine what type of names they would come up with.
