The information is likely out of date since Manifold is not at v 5 and MI at
6.5 but this web site http://www.manifold.net/intro/faster_smarter_home.html
has a MI and Manifold comparison. But if you in addition look at the
features in Manifold v5 http://www.manifold.net/big_index.html, there is no
doubt that Manifold has detected that there is waiting potential users that
need analysis capacity. Much less if it works, the topology editing capacity
is way past ArcInfo. They throw in a VB 6 programming language, all for
under $250. Clearly this is no toy GIS either.
I'd like to see all the stuff that is in Manifold in MI. MI as well as
virtually every other vendor except Manifold, Idrisi, TransCad, and AV,
ArcInfo has a little, don't know about AV 8.1 (through a 3rd party link
S-Plus) have virtually no statistical capacity. Although there is a new book
"Statistical Analysis with ArcView, Lee & Wong that throws in a sizeable
collection of programs, but weak on CAR, etc.
