Will the next update release of LabVIEW be called 2010?

We're already at year 2010 and people still can't program dates?  How do these people get jobs? 

My wife was telling me of a funny story she heard on the news about Bank Cards that stopped working as of Jan 1 2010 due to the date..  LOL!!  When will people learn the difference between wanna-be-programmers and people who can actually design and write code?  LOL! 😄

I use a in-house developed app that tracks my time on various projects. It was writtein in .... LV 7 or there-abouts. I have never seen the code but when entering my time for the end of last year I ran into an issue where if my start time was in Dec of 09 and the stop time was in Jan of 10, no records were found!  I have re-written that app and it is secheduled to replace the buggy one.

Maybe those people fearing Dec 2012 are onto something....  😮

The Symantec Endpoint AV we use for corporate is actually suffering a 2010 bug, believe it or not- it thinks the AV definitions are out of date since it is not handling the new year 2010 properly.

AHA! I knew there was something screwy going on. I was seeing the same issue here, and I was quite suspicious given that it started on Jan 1.

I say we call the new LabVIEW version "LabVIEW: Amageddon - 2". (for you Mayan 2012 lovers out there).

It's a bummer that the increase is only 1 year (2009 to 2010) but the price increase wont only be one dollar.

I like that name too :).  I wonder when we can drop the "20" from the "1x" and it be considered acceptable.  I mean, we didn't have Windows 1995 or Office 1997.  Those were just Windows 95 and Office 97.  At what point can we drop the "20" everytime we title something with a particular date?

Yes, but if you just say Labview 10 then morons may think you are talking about Labview 1910

If I were you, I wouldn't count on that. If you look at NI's release schedule over the last few years (and some public statements made by NI employees regarding their planned release schedule), you can see that NI release two versions every year - a major version is released around August, during NIWeek, and then a minor version is released around January or February. NI has acknowledged publicly that the change in names is intended to be long term, so you can definitely expect to see LV 2010 in August, but the closer one is likely to still be linked to 2009.

Haven't you learned from the past? You are setting yourself up for a Y3K bug. 😄

But that's someone elses problem.  I don't expect my code to be running in Y3K
