Well, if you look at
http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/roadmap.html
you will see a couple other interesting platform support problems:
* No Solaris support by Mathworks on Intel CPUs - ever! I remember
some discussion about people basically running Mathworks products in
Linux zones on Solaris instead, but obviously once you have to use
emulation to run software on your preferred OS it is the end or at
least not a good sign, i.e OS/2 and Windows should have taught
everybody a lesson.
* No more new Solaris/Sparc Mathworks releases after the end of 2009
* We beat them to 64 bit OSX support - at least one of the major
projects ;)
* No new releases for any OSX/PPC after the end of 2007
Contrast that with Maple from
http://www.maplesoft.com/futureplatforms.aspx
where they state that they will release future Maple version also on
Solaris 9/10 on Sparc. It seems they never had a Solaris/x86 release.
Cheers,
Michael
