If your company uses FOS or Ascend by Rockwell Collins, I encourage you to read the following story regarding the future of your proprietary data. http://ipcoasis.com/rockwell


Please feel free to sign the petition even if your company doesn't currently use a Rockwell product.

This is the equivalent of Microsoft shutting off Windows XP because you didn't upgrade to Windows 7.

Can you expand on the issue without pointing to a URL that is not accessible please.

The links were good when the topic was posted.

IIRC, what it came down to was Rockwell Collins purchased FOS with the intent of making all those customers switch to their OASIS product as they phased out FOS. This was against the FOS program agreement which said that customers had the rights to use the program and data as long as they kept current with their service payments/
 
While I am totally familiar with FOS (used it for more than 12 years), I never heard of Oasis. Searching for it on Rockwell Collins' website brings back no hits. Exactly what is Oasis - I have never heard of it - and it certainly isn't a scheduling program. Rockwell CANNOT take away FOS without replacing it with something better - there is NOTHING better than FOS. This all sounds very strange to me. Please elaborate regarding Oasis. Thanks.

So the memory is not as good as it once was, sorry about that.

From searching, Rockwell Collins bought CTA-FOS to augment their Ascend product.

The gist of the original poster's argument remains the same. FOS users were not going to have the promised access to their proprietary day. I do not know if that is how it turned out in practice, and judging from the number of views the topic received in two different forums here, nobody seems to care much.

And no- they don't HAVE to replace FOS with something better, though that would be the smart thing to do.
