We have published a date for PowerHouse on MPE/iX. We did so very soon =
after
HP's announcement. As previously announced PowerHouse on MPE/iX will be
supported until Dec 31, 2006. We have also matured PowerHouse on VAX =
(due to
HP's end of life on VAX), and on AS/400 and Tru64 (due to business =
reasons).
We have updated the supported products list on the support.cognos.com =
web
site to include these dates.=20
=20
All other platforms, OpenVMS Alpha, UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris), and =
Windows
NT/2000/XP are fully supported.
=20
Don't ask me how long PowerHouse will be supported on those platforms
because there is no end-of-support date. If there's business, it will =
go on
forever. If not, we will make that decision based on the business at =
the
time.
=20
Hopefully you saw Cognos' announcement of their annual results. =
Application
Development Tools' revenue for our last fiscal year was about 29.5 =
million
dollars US. That is not insignificant. We're not going away any time =
soon.

HP has been honest and given us the 3000-date, Dec 31, 2006. =20
What about Cognos? Will they give us the PowerHouse-date soon?
"We have no plans for that" they probably say, but what are the Cognos =
plans
for PH? No marketing for years, that gives us a clue! I think you =
know
Bob, are Cognos going to let it slowly die, or are you going to be =
straight
and give us the date?

We've had a version on Windows for years. We've had articles in =
SupportLink.
It's mentioned on the PowerHouse web site (which is somewhat out of =
date but
not that out of date).
It's full PowerHouse including QUICK.=20
