If you have not heard it, pantone has forced adobe to charge their subscribers a monthly fee. How is this going to effect Xara?

In my totally unqualified opinion it only matters to professional design industry types that has to have the latest updated codes for the newest colour codes.
Crazy to imagine they are still naming colours.
I mostly watched this video on it (channel is top notch, highly recommended):

Good link. Thanks.
For most of your customers how much do they require a specific Pantone color. You can buy swatch books that list a Pantone color and what the equivalent CMYK values would be if needed or there are sites on line that will do the conversion for you. As long as you are supplied the Pantone color number then it can be converted.
As mentioned above I think this really will only impact the larger design houses and not the smaller designers as much. There is just to many work arounds that I don't see how it will be to Pantone benefit in the long to try and go to a subscription model.

is it just a re-run of the amazon-visa spat ?

Xara could remove said, absorb costs, pass onto to end-users.
It could remove easily from Subscription for Pro+ and future versions of XDPX.
I cannot see any mechanism where it can remove from perpetually licensed earlier versions.
Prep up your colour swatch and export as PDF and import into your current application; Pantone does not own any CMYK value and will be / is a CSS4 Standard anyhow.
I think this action is fully covered by anyone owning any XDPX/XPDX or a sub/owned XPro+/XDPX combination.
