SW 2004 Bugs, per Solidworks

Not sure who wrote this:
For the record, I'd counter this by saying that maybe us users wouldn't be
so unforgiving towards SW if we felt submitting bugs, etc wasn't an
exercise in futility.

I expect major bugs, and ESPECIALLY regressions, to be fixed rather quickly.

ie: I fully expect that messed up
cut-extrude-offset-from-surface-dim-display bug to be fixed in SP2.1.

Will it? Probably not.

I forget if I submitted it during SP0.0 or during the early days of 1.0. I
think it was 0.0 tho. By 2.0 it definately should have been fixed.

Who from ade$k was caught at SWW?

There were 3 at least, 2 known names were:
a.. Kevin McHugh ADESK AE North East
b.. Byron Giannopoulos ADESK Sales Manager North East
Apparently they attended the entire event, used false identities and were only caught when a Solid employee recognized them on the last day sneaking out.

Maybe they were looking for jobs?

archrival Autodesk took out full-page advertisements in both the Boston Globe and USA Today on January 21, deriding SolidWorks. The advertisement read in one-inch-high block letters, "What they won't tell you at SolidWorks World: The world's number one 3D design software is Autodesk Inventor Series." The ad provided no figures or facts to back up the claim and said comparisons were based on 2002 sales.

The question is who cares?

Sorry, I need more information,.. (trying to paint a picture here..)

So, when you guys identified them... did you guys wrestle them to the
ground, handcuff them... then bring them to the back room, apply battery
cables to their gonads and slap them around!? (hope so!?)
Or, did you stand up to them and say: "AutoDesk slim like you make us
sick (spit on their shoes)... give us your stinking badges (with a
mexican accent)!" then put their arms behind their backs and throw them
out onto the street!? (much more civil)
Or, just say,.. Ah Hah!! We know who you are (fingers pointing)!!
Then ask (please for their id's and ask them (please) leave as they were
exiting anyway?
Or, did you guys say (with beers in your hand and a buzz),.. "Hey,..
(long pause) did you guys see those guys...(long pause)...I think,.. I
know those guys, (long pause, eye's glazed).. they are adesk vars
aren't they... they've already walked out the exit...

BTW, I'd luv to post the adesk article to remind people that adesk are
slim.
But, in either case, none of this surprises me and american is still
basically a free country.
So, for marketing people to pull these tactics, is anyone really
surprised???
No doubt, ade$k marketing are slimier.

"Garcia said a similar beta test program for the next release will

Seems like Mr. Garcia missed a marketing opportunity when he set his goal--

It might have resonated better if he said they were shooting for 2005 bugs
in SW2005

 

So that's the naming convention! Thanks for explaining!
