I guess the other thing that has struck me is looking at this web site and seeing ALL
the excitement and inovation around CNC....the software side needs to follow. Right
now looking at this industry after 10 years is SO dissapointing!!! its really a case of SOSDD!!!! Amazing.


More reasons...lets say this infact does happen....there will be a feeding frenzy when the products start becoming accepted in industry to migrate business to the new. Yet another business plan to sell services.

The FIRST BIG GUY to figure this out will have a leg up on the competition
as THEIR environment and therefore services will be more in demand.

It wouldn't suprise me to see one or more existing S/W companies see the logic of this as a way to get back into the game and do our work for us...imagin a competitve battle to get development environments into free ware because it will be infact survival...the only way for that to happen is to start and make this real. Then there is no risk. Either one is up and running and the rest need to follow...or if one gets close an industry developed environment will pop out that is better as a survival/new business stratagy. Either way everyone wins. I mean EVERYONE!

No one ever thought IBM would dump the PC business and go service 15 years
ago either.
