ArcView 3.x vs. ArcGIS ArcView 8.x

As of May 1, 2001, two versions of the popular ArcView architecture are now available.

Which version should I choose?

	Supported Operating Systems	Customization Language
ArcView 3.x	Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Macintosh, Unix	Avenue
ArcGIS ArcView 8.x	Windows NT SP6, Windows 2000, Windows XP	ArcObjects, Visual Basic

For users new to GIS and/or users who are not dependant on legacy applications, the preferred software is ArcGIS ArcView 8.x. This choice allows users to fully access the benefits provided by the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) architecture upon which ArcGIS is based. For those users with unsupported operating systems for ArcGIS ArcView 8.x or for those organizations running applications utilizing custom tools developed for ArcGIS 3.x for which there would exist significant redevelopment costs, ArcView GIS 3.x or a hybrid of both versions would be the best bet. Current licensing structure allows users upgrading to ArcGIS ArcView 8.x to maintain a license of ArcView 3.x on the same PC to facilitate software transition.
