FileMaker 17 – Why I Don’t Care About 17, But Love the FileMaker Platform

FileMaker is not a Product it is a Platform. Platforms are different. They don't really have a product release every 2 to 4 years. They have regular releases of whatever is ready to go. That's why I don't care much about the number 17.
