Never heard of Magix either. I'm not that much into video or photography, but still haven't ever read an article about them covering their products.

There are tons of cheesy cheap software distributors in the US originating from who knows where. Not including Xara in that, but hope they won't get caught up in the cheesy software marketing.

I refused to buy another Corel product as they have gobbled up good software and then simply stopped its distribution.

This sudden drop of distribution I guess is a danger to Xara. Some programmers have kept their proprietary right to the software and can buy the rights back, but doubt that is the case here.
