TAM 11 release pushed back?

Robin Deatherage · April 08, 2011, 10:58:15 AM

I heard that TAM 11 might not be released until 3rd qtr now. Is there any truth to that? If I recall correctly the initial target date was end of April or first of May.

The original target date, or the 2nd "original" target date.

Personally, I don't really worry too much about a release date slipping - AS LONG AS they do better quality control on what they've released. So glad we're not back in the days of "it's out but there are major problems".

LOL! I guess I should say the 2nd original target date.

Well, I'm wanting v11 for the 64 bit compatibility so I can make some hardware purchases. Getting a little impatient and want to buy.

My source (and I think a pretty good one) says release should be mid-June. Of course, who's to say that won't change either

Will any of your workstations have over 4 Gigs of RAM? That's the only reason I know of to opt for a 64 bit OS - to address more than that much memory. Could be wrong on that, but that's what I've heard.

I talked to a senior support agent on friday he said 64bit will be supported in version 11 but office 2010 will not.

If you are purchasing these for users with > average tech skills you may be able to stop waiting on the sidelines. I am running TAM 10.7 (and just recently 8.5) on a 64-bit system using the XP Virtual Machine. Works very well.

Where is Andy, can't he answer when V.11 will be released?

(working on it - they don't like to tell Marketing much because we have big mouths)

Billy Welsh · April 11, 2011, 05:14:23 PM

Not to mention your eyebrows. And mustache. And those glasses. And nose.

Charlie Charbonneau · April 11, 2011, 05:47:22 PM

It's not really your fault when we hash out things before the big announcement! Geez... You get a bad rap Andy, we wouldn't front you out man!

GeorgeW · April 12, 2011, 08:49:50 AM

Shouldn't really be a big announcement, they orginally said it would be released first quarter 2011, didn't they?

Jan Regnier · April 12, 2011, 10:09:56 AM

Wonder if the new Cert of Ins (5/2010) will be included....we'll all be out of compliance with ACORD if it's not.
