Re: What happend to SPSS 16 and 17?

[zstatman]

While I think most who used V16 were less than satisfied, I find V17 up to
the standard that SPSS has been known for. It is, however, important to
recognize that with V16 the "front-end" moved to a Java interface (to, as I
recall, facilitate the development of a common platform, e.g., PC & Mac)
thus issues did exist as well as development/design changes.

Back to V17 - Do make sure you install the 17.0.1 patch but that didn't
affect the comment wrt the copy/paste of pivot tables to Word and I haven't
found this happening, however, do now tend more to exporting.

Since the java front end has been brought up, has anyone tried v.17 with 64bit Ubuntu yet?  SPSS is one of the few applications that I still run on my legacy Microsoft XP machine at home.  If v.17 works with 64bit Ubuntu I'm going to have to see about upgrading and see if I can finally retire that XP box.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

  I understand that you're looking for accounts of people having tested SPSS 17 on 64-bit Ubuntu, which SPSS has not done.
