I agree that they are surely stirring up things more than the typical "next best thing" announcement. I work with all of the CAD programs almost on a daily basis. CATIA is a monster. Sure it can do some a amazing stuff, but you have to be a pretty amazing CAD person to figure all of it out as it is well, "CATIA". Almost everyone fan or foe will acknowledge that it is "just difffernt"

So, I am psyched to see them turning it up a bit. I think leveraging the web in a 2.0 kind of way is long overdue for the industry. Interesting points you made on the Matrix side as I am unfamiliar with their technology.

"My bet is that SolidWorks drops parasolids, owned by competing Siemens, to develop capabilities and interoperability within the other Dassault product lines. Why would they not want to do this?"

They should have done it many years ago. I have posted about this very issue numerous times and SolidWorks users just didn't get what I was saying. SolidWorks is most likely going to spend two years just trying to catch up to where Siemens Synchronous Technology is right now. Sad but it didn't have to be this way.
