Anything I can find I'll try to blog about it, be it GIS, mapping, programming, graphics, CAD, networking, gadgets, music, both in English and Arabic. Technically everything tech-related and tech-unrelated.

Depreciation plans for ArcGIS 9.3.1 and 9.4 (2)
- ArcGIS Desktop will not support Windows 2000, Visual Basic 6, Visio, Visual Studio 2005 in 9.4 and later will not support Visual Basic for Applications in 9.5
- ArcGIS Engine and ArcReader will not support Sun Solaris in 9.5 (keeping only Windows and Linux)
- ArcInfo Workstation will not support IBM AIX in 9.4 and later will not support Sun Solaris in 9.5, which will be the last release of the product
- ArcSDE will not support Informix 32-bit, SQL Server 2000, PostgreSQL on Red Hat 4, HP-UX on PA-RISC (keeping HP-UX on Itanium), Oracle 9i, Server-side geocoding in 9.4 and later will be the only component in ArcGIS to support Sun Solaris in 9.5
- ArcIMS will not support ArcMap Server, ArcIMS Route Server, IBM AIX, HP-UX in 9.4 and will later not support ArcIMS Metadata Server and Sun Solaris (keeping only Microsoft Windows and Linux) in 9.5, which will be the last release of the product
- ArcGIS Server will not support Enterprise Application Developer Framework (EADF) for Java in 9.4
Depreciation plans for ArcGIS 9.3.1 and 9.4
- Microsoft Windows 2000
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (it is very simple to move from VS2005 to VS2008 and to VS2010)
- Internet Explorer 6 (while it is still used ... it should be phased out of support lifecycles)
- Crystal Report Wizard, a new reporting engine is used that should be more robust and have better features and performance.
- The Survey Editor Component and Survey Dataset within the Survey Analyst (I don't know what's left from the Survey Analyst)
- CASE tools and the Import Schema Wizard (that means goodbye for Microsoft Visio)
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6 (time to leave such ancient platform)
- Sun Solaris 9 for ArcReader and ArcGIS Engine (This keeps only Solaris 10/Linux/Microsoft Windows Platform)
- IBM AIX (the only remaining platforms are Microsoft Windows and Sun Solaris)
- ArcMap Server Extension to ArcIMS
- ArcIMS Route server extension
- IBM AIX
- HP-UX (the only remaining platforms are Microsoft Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris)
- 32-bit Informix on the AIX and Solaris platforms
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000
- HP-UX on the PA-RISC processor (support for ArcSDE technology on HP-UX on the Itanium processor is continued)
- PostgreSQL on Red Hat 4 (support for newer version of Red Hat Linux is continued)
- Oracle 9i
- Server-side geocoding in ArcSDE (ArcGIS Server geocode services have replaced the server-side geocoding functionality in ArcSDE)
- Enterprise Application Developer Framework (EADF) for ArcGIS Server Enterprise Java release (EADF provided out-of-the box Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) that were ready to use and deploy across supported J2EE 1.4 application servers. Users can still take advantage of EJBs by following patterns highlighting the ArcGIS Java Web Services Toolkit (AgsJWS) and EJB3)
- Sun Solaris 9 (with the exception of the ArcSDE technology component)
- Windows CE .NET platform (including Windows CE .NET 4.2 and 5.0)
- Sun Solaris (with the exception of the ArcSDE technology component)
- Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (as Microsoft no longer promotes or updates VBA)
- ArcInfo Workstation will be decoupled from ArcGIS Desktop 9.4
- Windows 7 as the last expected Windows platform upgrade
- Support for connecting to ArcSDE
- ArcIMS Metadata Server (replacing it with search technology in the ArcGIS Geoportal Extension 9.3.1, and in ArcGIS Server 9.4)
- The last planned release for ArcInfo Workstation on Windows (which will be the last supported platforms)
- The last planned release for ArcIMS on Windows and Linux (which will be the last supported platforms)
