Hello everyone,
My name is Mariano, I am finishing my PhD studies at The Ohio State University and, as you can imagine, I depend on OriginPro for my charts and data analysis! Therefore, I also depend on Windows for finishing my thesis.
I am new to Linux, but I rapidly found its great advantages upon WinXP. However, I cannot totally switch operative systems because of Origin (EndNote and photoshop). I know there are some alternatives out there but nothing is as good as such applications.
I am convinced there should be no reason for the “scientific” community not changing to Linux; it is a non-sense…except we still depend on some trade mark applications that ONLY run well enough on Win.
I am writing this because I still don’t get why OriginLab doesn’t produce a multi-platform OriginPro. They may say it is because mostly all their users run Win, but I’d rather say most of OriginLab users HAVE TO RUN Win because they do not sell a Linux package! Look at Matlab or Wolfram Mathematica, they are multiplataform.
The question for OringinLab people: When a Origin for Linux???
Cheers
Mariano
