linux

It's been over a year since I last asked (I think).

Canonical the commercial kiddies at Ubuntu (linux) have added a "paid for" software section to Ubuntu's software center.
I would very much like to see Xara P&GD running at 64bit in that list - just for the convenience of sticking to the operating system I prefer. It really is a pain in the ass to have to switch opsys when when I get the urge to create. So much so that I'm opting to use free open source software rather than the slick Xara software that I've paid for.

Alliteratively task a team to get Xara software working well under Wine, contact the friendly guys at WineHQ who are busting a gut to get their windows comparability layer to the point of perfection.

I've got P&GD 6 installed and running in Wine but the tool selection interface is none functional which is a shame and quite bizarre since complex games like EVE online works well through Wine.

Wishing you and your company all the best for the future.

I would think that if Xara abandoned Mac, there's even less likelyhood of them adopting a linux flavour. No harm in asking though.

Unfortunately Xara's excursion into the Linux world was not met with much support from the Linux community.
