The Xara Desktop Applications with and without the Update Service

From the way you talk if I run virtual machine if my computer fails I can still keep my updates am I correct in what I am thinking your saying?

As long as the virtual machine is backed up, external to your computer, you just copy it back in. A VM is just a bunch of files in a folder. You would have to reinstall the host program.

Edit: Should mention that there are restrictions in the video drivers. The "video card" is the one provided by the host program. In my case, that is the VMware driver, not the hardware driver by my video card manufacturer. This can be restrictive for things like 3D.
