JUST RELEASED: An update to Xara Designer Pro X

[SignPig]

Hmm, the 'upgrades' seem to be getting smaller and smaller each year. Having had every version since the Beta of Studio, I don't think I'll rush to buy this one.

I am expected to know this how...? - but thanks for telling me.. now I understand

Seems you can't avoid taking a shot. Why?

because i am not a yes man

because I am still here trying to help others on a regular basis, where I can

because xaramagix are milking the update service for all it is worth

and finally because it is not taking a shot, it is calling to account

ok Rob last you will hear from me in this thread, I hear what you say..

I’m confused as well. I really thought that DPX17 was a completely new version, but I’ve figured out the base name is Designer Pro X, then the versions are dumped onto that. I have X16, so this upgrade is X17. @xara how about calling the product X, then say VERSION 6 upgrade to VERSION 7 in the actual email alerts. Sorry, just a little confusing for the average Joe Sixpack.

More than likely they (Magix/Xara) are just throwing a bone out. Honestly, I have a deep feeling that this company really is only in if for the money - absolutely no heart&soul in their product. Once, definitely, but now they are looking at this as a cash cow. Great product, but hinging on people wanting "the latest"... even though the latest is the same 'ol.
