It seems as if software changes fast these days! This definitely holds true for the folks at Solidworks. In what is turning into a busy month for the Solidworks crew, it seems as if Solidworks 2008 will go from Beta to SP-0 Early Visibility in less than a month.
Around the beginning of August, Pre-release 1 was available. Then a short 8-9 days later, Pre-release 2 was available for download. Just posted today is that Service Pack 0 Early visibility should be available for download to EV participants on August 20th. Now thats a pretty fast cycle!
What's strange here is that from what I have been told, the official launch week isn't until the first week of October. So I guess this gives Solidworks just about 5 weeks to get SP0 ready, and time to polish up their launch week Presentations! Or maybe they will continue their sprint to the finish line, and release it in September proving me wrong! Either way, I think for most users, the major event is always the release of SP1 which seems to be a magical marker in everyones mind!
Stay tuned....
