IpeaGEO has been launched !
IpeaGEO is a free software for spatial analysis developed at the the Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea-Brazil). It combines spatial analysis (from the basics statistics to advanced spatial econometric models) with a friendly interface.
Although the software comes in portuguese, you should try it. Is pretty intuitive and much better than GeoDa !
You can download IpeaGEO here.
