SolidWorks 2008 officially released

solidworks 2008 logoSolidWorks sent out their press release today for SolidWorks 2008. It’s currently in the last stages of Beta and can be purchased, but there is no published timeline of when it starts to ship. Some may not think so, but I see a lot of benifits coming out in this release. I also see where some further improvements could be made. I’ll be talking about them over the next few post.

Included in the press release is a podcast. It has my name as the beta user being interviewed, but it doesn’t sound like me. Man, I sound weird… and a little tired. Nontheless, enjoy the news and the cast.

I don’t get it. They’re not even done with Beta 3 and they’re already releasing it?

I just don’t know what to think. Why even have Beta testing?

This is mostly a formality, plus a way to get good PR. It’s really released for purchase. The actual product probably won’t ship till after summer sometime.

It would kinda be like sending out an announcement that you’re gonna have a baby, which I hear some poeple do.

LOL! Yeah, I guess you’re right. Never thought about it that way.

“Hey! What were you thinking?! You’re not even finished with the first trimester!”
