What are the deprecation plans for ArcGIS 9.3.1 and ArcGIS 9.4 ?

[Lurker]

Hello, i find some interesting articles, related for our ArcGIS 9.3.1 and upcoming 9.4 release

ESRI said that some support and function will be remove from ArcGIS packages

some example are :

1. ArcPAD toolbars will be removed

2. Crystal Report will be removed

3. Survey Editor and survey dataset within survey analyst extension will be removed

4. No support for Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 2005, Windows 2000, AIX Operating system, IE6, MS SQL Server 2000, etc

:blur:

some operating system are limited support from ESRI for some component, due to the lack of the support from the vendor

And for GIS oldtimer who like CLI version, ARCINFO WORKSTATION, just prepared as ESRI will discontinue it after the release of ARCGIS 9.4........... :finger:
