Don't get to rough with Grafx. As with any major development, release
dates tend to be SWAGs (scientific wild-ass guesses). Microsoft being
much larger than Grafx has always been plagued with release dates.
Apple, however, tends to not release assumptions, so they remain "off
the radar" in most people's views. Then again, when do you ever hear
about major development projects for Apple products other than
graphics packages.

Typo! 1 Jun is the start of summer everywhere in the northern hemisphere
just as it is the start of winter on the southern side.

So a 'summer' release has until 31 Aug to materialise.

So it's late <g>

<g>

Where does this 21st date come from. If I watch your retail stores they
are adverting Autumn clothing ranges with Autumn as starting on the 1st
of Sep, just as they announce Spring down here.

No, you are right! The VO IDE is king from a productivity point of view
and I suspect that will never change. I use both VS and VO daily and I
never cease to feel that sense of relief going back to the simplicity of
VO.

However, what you cannot overlook with VS is its ubiquity: it is the
same repo for server management, report design, code design, website
design and Office add-in design. The intellisense is hugely valuable and
the debugging experience something VO'ers can't even dream about. Its
connectivity to help, its editors and searches, its installers, its
security, its source control... gosh, it is simply generations ahead of
VO.

Whilst VO is and was an outstanding IDE for its time, it has now been
left significantly behind in terms of functionality and that does become
important as we move forward.

Vulcanites in particular will be doing themselves a serious disservice
if they do not embrace VS and learn it in detail and use it for their
Vulcan apps.

21st or 22nd official start dates for Summer. 21st would be the summer
solstice and longest day, so you could argue 22nd is the first day of
summer.
