All, How would you answer users who are reluctant to upgrade to SolidWorks
2004 because of the fear of unknown issues? I believe this was the first time that SolidWorks Corp. ran 4 different Beta versions to remove the software issues before releasing it at SP0.0; also I don't see any outstanding issues that they haven't already addressed (no known issues with SP0.0). We're running a forum here at work determine how many users would like to upgrade and here is a typical reply: " I believe that we are all in agreement that we need to upgrade to SolidWorks 2004, that has never been in question. The question actually is why the extreme rush to do so. Do we really need to be first in line when the new CD's come off the stamping line? As we have seen in the past with SolidWorks and other products, there are ALWAYS some bugs that have not been worked out yet. Where is the harm in waiting a week or two or even a month or two in order to see what bugs their are? This upgrading as soon as something new comes out is starting to remind me of the general public's fascination with any new that comes out on the market and everyone rushes to the stores and stands in line for hours or days to be the first to get one. We will upgrade to 2004 and everything will be just fine. Lets all just be patient." Any ideas, suggestions or comments would be much appreciated. thanks, Navy Diver- posted
