ArcGIS 9.3 Begins Shipping!

ESRI has published a new press release late this afternoon. Titled ArcGIS 9.3 Improves Your Entire GIS Workflow, the press release mentions that ESRI has begun shipping ArcGIS 9.3. Wahoo!

Redlands, California—ESRI’s ArcGIS 9.3, which began shipping today, offers a complete suite of software that improves organizational workflows. With ArcGIS, users also get the benefits of an established and active user community, instructor-led and online training, and new online resource centers.
