Visio EA vs Visio 2003?

K

Keith Jakobs, MCP

Hi All,

I was hoping a few of you could shed some light on a question that has been
popping up among my developers. Many of whom are currently running Visio
for Enterprise Architects that is available with Visual Studio.NET. I
believe it is the same version of Visio regardless of whether you are using
the 2002 or 2003 version of Visual Studio Enterprise. Please correct me if
I am wrong.

The big question I am hitting is: What reasons are there to upgrade to
Visio 2003 (v11?) if you are already running Enterprise Architect of v10?
Also, is there an EA version for Visio 2003, or would you be sacrificing
features to migrate to v11?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Until Visual Studio has another release to catch up with the Visio 2003
standalone product, you would be losing functionality by upgrading to Visio
2003. Assuming you use Visual Studio EA for the software & database
features, you should probably wait. For developer types the biggest reason
to get Visio 2003 is the ActiveX control.
