GE Pushing ESRI
As someone pointed out recently, you never know if a podcast will be valuable until you listen to it… So, if you don’t have time to listen to this week’s a Very Spatial podcast, I’ll share the interesting tidbit I found. The interview was with Mark Patterson (homepage) of Kennesaw State University (that’s in Georgia). (vs podcast episode 72 at 21:25) He’s talking about ArcGIS Explorer and something he heard from ESRI:
They were saying that Google Earth has pushed them to release 9.2 with its state of incarnation earlier than they had planned. So, this was supposed to be for ArcGIS 10 where it would be more Google Earth-like.
