[Qgis-user] [OSM-talk] QGIS v MapInfo observations

[jonathanmoules at warwickshire.gov.uk]

Much as I dislike MapInfo, that comparison is stacked against the 
software. Not only is a very old version being used (He's using MapInfo 
7.8, apparently released in Sept 2004!!!! (
http://www.sgsi.com/Prod_Soft_MIPro_78.asp)), on top of which its being 
run in WINE too, which will hardly improve the reliability.

I don't doubt QGIS would do well against a modern MapInfo deployment, but 
lets not be disingenuous here, comparing a 7 year old product to a few 
week old one isn't exactly going to convince naysayers.

Interesting IMHO.
All the best.
