One should not lose sight of the fact that a new company was formed for xara cloud: Xara GMBH, based in Berlin

So that means there are now two 'Xaras' both apparently part of the Magix 'partnership'

On the one hand this might mean seperate devlopment teams result in resources not being diverted from one project to the other; on the other it means either project can be curtailed or abandoned independantly of the other...

Magix doing the marketing and support for the desktop project may just be an efficient way of avoiding a duplication of effort.. or it may be the first step in a transition... 'good' or 'bad'
