I was hoping for another couple of days, if not weeks, to plan my implementation timeline.

Wow--apart from the Barcelona gig, most other roll-outs for v2009 aren't for another month from now.

Interesting. Thanks, Scott! And if anyone installs and uses SP0.0, I'd like to hear what you think and if you find any snags.

I'll let you know tomorrow, the install is DL'ing at the office right now.

My install was a nightmare for some reason, but so far SW 09 is everything I've expected from the beta and PR's. Good to see Photoview in full release too.

is anyone having trouble downloading anything in the downloads section? I try and it says contacting D/L site, and sits for a while, then IE cannot display page. like its timing out or something. its been like this for a couple of days now.
 
The download was spitting up an message about how the Activation site was under maintainence, but clicking OK fixed the issue... I had to click it like 3 times, both when it said it was and of course it would return saying it was fixed.

The connecting to the website was slow, but that could be due to the amount of traffic people that are downloading and installing the software last night and today.

Its going good so far outside of that message.

Mine said that the site was under maintainence last night, but continued downloading behind the error message. When I got in this morning I clicked through two error messages and was done.

Typically we do not install a new version until SP1.0. We might go ahead and install SP0 this time. Anybody on the pre-release found any bugs that would make you not recommend SP0 or do you recommend to go ahead and install it?

I actually found '09 PR's more stable than SP4.0 of 08. I'm taking the time to get some new and more in depth defaults set up before we make the move to '09, that's the only reason I'm waiting until SP 1.0 to upgrade my people. Get everything done in one fell swoop.

If you're looking for a few bugs Matt I can have my in house API programmer write you a quick macro that pops up random, meaningless error messages, just so it feels more like some of the older SW product.

Is there any difference feature-wise between the photoview360 beta and this release?

I really only use 09 for photoworks and photoview360 at the moment.

 
Do I need to get a new license for 09? I am currently running 09 PR2, and am using a SNL_ANY licence file.
 
Joe,

Thanks for the help. That was an editing error, I think. need = find.

However, thanks for the idea. I might create such macros and add-ins for the pranksters out there and make them available on my site. This might be a whole new area!

I did something like this as a joke for ACAD 13 back in the 90's. I created a small .exe to replace the main acad.exe, so when the user would run ACAD, a fake menu screeen popped up. When someone selected an option, it would snipe back with an insult or refusal to do the task.

So far it sounds as though v2009 is delivering on the promise of a more stable, functional product "to make us more productive". Nifty. I'll keep an eye on things here and see if anything show-stopping happens...

My understanding (based on the SW08 release/fiasco) is that the Gold Partner products have about 60 days to get thier software released for the new version after the release of SP0. True or not, I'll wait until my Add-In comes out with the 09 version.

I looked at the SW site to double check my video card and driver for 09 and it's not listed as having been tested. That's another reason for me to wait. In the past the nVidea driver was not the same as the Dell driver.

I'm anxious to play with the new toys, just not in a rush for new problems.
