Xara Xtreme 6

[Sponsi]

Well, Xtreme 6 would be nice.. they should shoot it in in 2-3 months, not more because I guess people will want to buy either Corel X5 or Photoshop CS5.. and If one buys one of the two, then Xtreme 6 will probably be out of question..

I hope they don't make just some minor changes like they did with 5...

Corel X5 = $809.00 AUD
Adobe CS4 = $3,006.00 AUD
Xara Xtreme Pro 5 = $349.00 AUD

You have got the CDs in the mail yet?

What?

I have supported Xara for the last 10 years buying all the upgrades etc. I just hope in this next version they put some development effort back in the vector tools.

The Xara Outsider specifically references "web designers", so whatever the announcement is, it seem unlikely to be new vector tools...

From: http://www.xara.com/us/outsider/march10/
"Web Designers amongst you might want to sign up to one of our instant news services (see under Other News) to ensure you catch some Big News as it happens... before the next Outsider."

It could be that they are releasing a new version of Web Designer first, and perhaps a new version of Xtreme is coming later, so there could still be some hope for Xtreme.

Same here. If Xara makes it, I buy it. Can't wait for the X6 release and hope there has been done _some_ work on vector tools!

[angelize]

+1 on the hope for new vector tools! And some attention to brushes!

I'm not an 'Adobe Fan' but this comparision is simply wrong.
Adobe CS4 contains 14+ programs total.
$3,000.00 AUD / 14 = $214 AUD each
