Submission + - Pro/Engineer dropping support for Linux (ptc.com)
coldfarnorth writes: Sadly, PTC has decided to discontinue Pro/E for Linux after the current version. From a TPI on their website (evil registration required):
"In response to the changing technology landscape and the increasing consolidation of MCAD customers around a smaller number of platforms, PTC will discontinue Pro/ENGINEER support of the Linux operating system with the release of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 will run on a variety of other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Vista, HPUX 11i, Solaris 8, and Solaris 10. This decision to discontinue Linux support enables increased and more efficient support for the vast majority of PTC customers."
