Title: Message
I would be very surprised to see Navision go anywhere near being in maintenace mode ... although we all love Axapta (most of the time) you should know MBS are still very much favoured towards Navision if you have any dealings with them...in a sense they dont seem to know Axapta and hence how and what to do with it!! ...although no expert in GP I dont see it would benefit MBS to do it for this product.  The rest are basically already in maintenace mode so its no surprise and expect the statement is based on these.

It's not the first time an ERP product such as GP or Axapta or anything in that category has been delayed.  Your statement makes it obvious that you are new to Axapta, possibly even new to ERP systems in general, and statements like this are truly worthless opinions.  Before you get upset, let me tell you that we are many people that are tired of this happening again and again, but we've grown to expect it, and although it may be a cynical view, we'll be surprised if there is ever a release that comes out as promised.
 
With regards to the ERP strategy, it has never been Microsoft's intention to keep several (competing) ERP product lines, and it's obvious that Great Plains is at the end of its life cycle along with XAL, C5, C4, Solomon.  Also, I would not be surprised to see Navision go into maintenance mode soon.  And that's the way it is with great products.  Even Henry Ford discontinued the Ford T, because although popular, it was also getting old and outdated with time, and never technologies provided for cheaper and better models.

"Microsoft has pushed back the 4.0 release of its high-end ERP
offering to 2006 and is hinting it will soon move some its ERP wares
into 'maintenance mode.'


Microsoft's ERP strategy is morphing.

Axapta, one of Microsoft's four ERP products, has fallen victim to
Microsoft's slip-date curse. Meanwhile, it sounds as if Microsoft has
started to take measures to streamline its stable of four different
ERP lines."
