X5 and Windows 8??

[Dave Pitman]

I would like a simplified version of CA for field work which would work on a pad of some sort.

Agreed Larry.

Chief, able to function in 2D with necessarily limited 3d on tablets, would be great for field work.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that this will not be very high on the list @ CA.

Larry:

I agree about the SSA...

CA is aiming for a 12 month cycle

if that starts to slip to 18 - 24 months then SSA starts to lose value rapidly

With a range of Windows tablets to be released at the same time as Win8 I think the demand for Chief to run on them will surge. I for one have been putting off buying a tablet in the hope that there will soon have one that will run Chief.

I know that historically there has been a call for Chief on mac but I think this new market will be even bigger. I also like the idea of running Chief on touch screen desktop.

It is interesting that we havent seen a poll to find out what the demand would be.
