Lets put this in perspective:

My company, through programs like early retirement, just reduced our work force by several hundred.

Enron, Worldcom, massive layoffs (several thousands) here in the states and around the world.

Most world economies are not doing very well.

Companies, especially those in the IT, software, hardware restructure more than I shave <grin>.

I just say, Xara has great products that will continue to sell if we support them. I'm glad Kate commented and basically closed this subject, becasue many users thinking about purchasing Xara come here and lurk. If I were a newbie, I would think twice about purchasing Xara products after seeing the initial post/rumor.

Serif = Yuck
Kate/Xara = Great!
