Who Want's Solidworks 2009 ???

Well if you work for Solidworks, word has it you will be receiving your copy sometime next week.  So what about those of us not in the Solidworks inner-circle?  Well that same word has it that the beta program will launch in late May.  I will be sure to hunt down the answer when I arrive in Concord in a few weeks.  For those keeping score, thats about two months later than the beta release of 2008. 

So I will let everyone else chime in on why the time difference is, because there are quite a few of those in the black helicopter crowd who will undoubtedly start to muse as to why things are happening along the current time lines!  All I know is I can't wait to get my hands on all the new eagerly anticipated Solidworks 2009 Enhancements that are on the way!

Hi Mike,
I am still waiting for the version that can draw what I'm thinking about. I know many will probably say you are a dreamer. Well, yes I am. So was Walt Disney and Gene Roddenbury that you referred to on Josh's Blog. Mankind dreams about what might be possible while those lost in the practical world of work and schedules must use what was once dreamed up by the founding fathers of SolidWorks. Have a good one Mike.

How about a decent, stable User Interface? Or, hows 'bout making the Solid Sweep function a little more user friendly. Mike, I admire your positive outlook, but as a single seat Contractor, I'd prefer that SolidWorks Corp. some more time fixing and testing their software than making, say, a new web site.

Mike,

Someone needs to dump an old fashioned claw bath tub full of ice water on your head.;P I think they should make a version just for you that introduces a random change every time you open it. That way you could have a new and unpredictable version every day!

Happy Workarounds!
