My thoughts exactly, at the moment things look good for their support of the
core tools. As we know through history that can change on a moments notice and
the SCH and PCB tools are left to hang. Good example, the recent PCB West
conference and Altium's absence. They were up the road in SF at an imbedded
design conference.
Actually it was worse. I was there at the Embedded Design Conference
and talked to the Altium sales person who assured me that PCB & SCH was
their core area and they were pushing that at the show. The
conversation then went on the things I did not like about the DXP/2004
PCB and the sales person was having a problem understanding what I was
talking about. So I suggested that she bring up the program and I could
show it to her. Then the truth came out: At the entire show there was
not a single license of SCH or PCB. The 10 or so demo PCs there only
had the FPGA software and could not even demo the SCH and PCB if a
customer wanted to know about it. So much for the illusion that SCH and
PCB is something they care about.
