(OP)
I posted recently at the Solidworks Forum a post on "The Future of Solidworks". I got a lot hits about how SW is here to stay from a lot of DS\SW managers. Now we proof that DS\SW is still moving forward with the V6 version of SW. You can check out my posts at the SW forums or you can check out the links below showing the video.

Judge for yourself and you ask Solidworks where are we heading... because they are not telling me.

I have no doubt that the new program will be way more powerful than the current SW version, but the lack of open and accurate information between Dassault, SW & SW users is unforgivable.

That is well said.i've thought the same thing. The problem is... will it deliver that power with the same (or better) User Interface we all know and love as well as with LESS bugs and more STABILITY?

If that is true, will SW ever be able to take advantage of multi-cores since the Kernel is 20+ years old and built on old technology?
I do hope you understand I am not trying to be a pain, I am just trying to figure this out to make sure we at making a good investment here.
Thanks for your reply Matt!

As far as multi-processor support, I'm not really qualified to answer that question with a firm yes or no. So as far as the current SolidWorks CAD program, the answer I'd give is something like "hopefully." I know the R&D group has been able to add more multi-core capabilities to drawings functionality, as well as some of the simulation/validation tools. I also know it's something they think about constantly, but there are some limitations imposed by using third-party technology components, as well as the fact that the basic CAD solver processes are very linear in nature.
Here's how Jon Hirschtick once explained it to me. In a lot of ways, it's like baking a cake. You have to start by mixing your flour, eggs, sugar, etc. Then you have to pour that into a pan. Then you have to bake it. Then you have to let it cool. Then you have to ice it. There's no way to break those out into a series of steps that can be performed concurrently by multiple chefs. I know that probably sounds like a gross oversimplification, and it kind of is, but hopefully you can get where I'm coming from.

When I want to see this in the most positive way, I want this coming change to be like if we where now moving from working with a horse to working with a tractor. It may be hard to believe in the new technology because it's unproven and raw but after a while I hope the change will be worth it.
A darker view would be that Solidworks is keeping too many users away from more expensive products from Dasseault and they want to get rid of it. Even more so since they must be paying a bit for the use of parasolid to their competitor along the way.
But hey what do I know!

I personally invite you to visit our facility any time you make it out to this area of world. Richard Doyle, Matthew Lorono and Gian Paolo Bassi will be out here on March 21st next month.
