Nathan, give Xactimate a call. Last week I spent an hour at the Xactimate booth at the ACE claims conference because ACE was a no show (375 showed up I was told). There were like only 5-10% of the chairs filled in any event that I saw and the tradeshow hall was empty except for vendors. It is to be in Orlando next year I read but if the event is as mismanaged as it was in Vegas it will be a waste of vendors’ money. It cost is the same as the PLRB or RIMS where they will have 10-20 times as many people attending. Well the good part was the vendors had time to visit with each other.
Back to your question, I did hear a few come by the Xactimate booth that said they had 24 running on Vista and I think that has been stated on this forum. They were also telling some that 25 will be out next month. If the hurricanes some there will be thousands of CAT adjusters showing up with Vista as their only option for the storm season for the very reason you just stated. There has not been much news about MSB/IC lately that I have read but I think the rest of the estimating software packages are good to go on Vista so go straight to the horse’s mouth. Vista is here and not going away for five years.
