"What I¡¯m reading here seems to be mostly fear of change.?"
Not really fear of change, except for changes that render financial and/or time losses and client dissatisfaction...
We have been in a world for 10+ years now (the proverbial Digital age) that although has many wonderful things to offer, also has a zeitgeist for some based on 'change for change's sake, new and shiny is better', often marketing/sales driven that creates changes faster than humans can keep up with.?
I actually like the idea of VC4, but I think there's a potential for a learning curve (death by 1000 cuts) that will be expensive from a time, project deployment and client satisfaction prospective.
Project goals and requirements have not really changed much in the last 20-30 years, at least in the Resi space, just the way we're required to deploy them...
Concerning Internet connection:
In the Resi space, 99.9% of all projects I've been involved with have continuous connectivity (or a Net admin that can manage this). Obviously not so simple in the Commercial space...
I really don't love the whole license thing (though I understand it completely) for any feature, cause if you have to replace a processor or Dell PC on a Saturday morning, this can be a total pain...
Does anyone know if VC4 using the hardware ID for the license, like most/all if the other processor licensing schemes seem to? or is it just within the program/config that would be 'Transferable??
And +1:
Anyone on my side with a petition for free developer VC4-licenses???
