There hasn't been a</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE=2>compelliong, must-have upgrade. Nor has there been any new 3rd party vendor</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE=2>offerings. VEE has a total of 5 channel partners. LV has far better 3rd party</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE=2>support for plug-in cards, PCMCIA cards, USB, etc.</FONT></P><P><FONT SIZE=2>NI dedicates a great deal of resources to LV and aggresively promotes it. To</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE=2>some in this UG that 's a bad thing. If Agilent invested 1/2 the resources NI</FONT><BR><FONT SIZE=2>does on LV, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
