X5 and Windows 8??

[HumbleChief]

Not sure if I'm excited or bummed that the development efforts will now be split between 2 or more platforms.

I have absolutely no interest in a MAC anything but they're not developing for me. I would like a simplified version of CA for field work which would work on a pad of some sort. An iPad? To me that's just not exciting at all. But if it HAS to be on an iPad I understand that demand will drive these decisions, not my personal preferences.

And doesn't that necessarily mean that features will be put on hold as those company energies drift to develop those other platforms?

I agree - hoping Mac development doesn't hurt windows development

...and what happens to the SSA members - do they just wait that much longer for an update because resources are being redirected - or are resources being added with no discernable down side for current users?

I KNOW these questions have been asked at the offices of CA and the best part of this news is that CA is doing well enough financially to consider such a move.

So far, I think, the company has treated its user base very well and I see no reason to think that will change - unless it changes.
