Our company, AssetPoint, develops, sells, and supports a software product, TabWare, an EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) software package that is developed with PowerBuilder. The mandate from our new ownership in the spring of 2008 was to release a web-architected version of our application by year end (2008!).

John Strano [...] demonstrated some impressive new features of the new version of PowerBuilder, including a fly-away image effect as well as DataWindow skinning. Of course, this is all based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and the WPF DataWindow. I found it all quite impressive. I think we're about to experience one of the biggest leaps forward in PowerBuilder functionality that we've seen in recent history. My nagging concern is that in order to become fully ".NET," Sybase has to commit to Microsoft developed technologies. And if there's anything constant about Microsoft, it's that they keep switching out technologies.
