Early Reviews:

The web service experience in 2013 is reason enough to upgrade, said Jack Dunaway, founder of Wirebird Labs. I rely heavily on it for the tools I create in LabVIEW, and the changes they made in this version make designing complex, web-based systems more intuitive than ever. In the past few years, LabVIEW has seen evolutionary improvements. This year is revolutionary.
