Mike, you have summarised the issues perfectly

I don't want, in any circumstances, to lose any bought capability - Xara, you are forcing us into a continual top-up scheme. If the cost was a sensible fraction of the original purchase price, it might work. My current feeling is I can do without the hassle.
I don't want to sit by my computer clicking and downloading content; so an early CD purchase doesn't work either.

By all means freeze updates after the 365-day cut-off.
I do not think this reversion is sensible. Let us keep what we paid for.
I would not also expect to pay for ongoing bug fixes - they are bugs and I would expect the responsibility to lie with the company.

I have always considered my yearly upgrades to be of worth to the company. This approach makes me question my loyalty.
On loyalty, not to have engaged with Gary P is another of your mistakes.

Finally, not having keeping up with the latest versions means my contributions to TalkGraphics are going to diminish.
