I have AI 9 too and am getting an upgrade to 10 very shortly. Yes, it's a pain to use compared to XX in most ways, but it has a LOT of neat extra special effects. And it has rock-solid, state of the art PostScript support in every way, and works very well with Photoshop 6 - especially for getting vector shapes into PS6, which is a simple copy operation via the clipboard. There are MANY functions in AI which I hope Xara will emulate for XX2!
