Sending out the hype and showing a direct comparison is different. They would lose all sells until V22 released and this would not be good. Right now they are saying....Someday (we can't tell you when) we will have V22 but for now here is a very good V21. If they advertise it there then it will look like it is ready to buy. |
That's just pure nonsense.
All the major players in this industry are always advertising what is coming in the next major release.
It's never stopped Mastercam or SolidWorks from making a sale by advertising the status of the next version and it's release schedule.
Mastercam has a direct link to information about Version X2 on it's main page.
Do you honestly believe it's stopping them from selling Version X right now?
It appears to be nothing more than laziness to not put something up on the Website especially when their Sales Director is posting information about it here.
What BobCAD has coming looks really good and is a big move forward.
It would be nice if they took affirmative steps to let people and potential customers, like myself, know what we can expect in detail.
Will V22 support Lathe?
