Something is not right.

Certainly from the consumer's point of view. I mean I got shunted over to Magix like most people only to find (quite by accident) that now a new version of Designer Pro back in full control of Xara is available from Xara.

As a consumer I'm left wondering which is the authentic deal, which is best, which will get all the features, and uncertain about the brand.

No corporate would take these product decisions unless something has gone wrong somewhere, surely?

Magix, although offering pretty good software, doesn't feel like a focused and dedicated software dev, more the Sports Direct of software, accumulating IP/Brands/Labels.

So, I'm left surprised to learn about Pro+, a bit disappointed and unsure what's what?

Very strange fork in the road this.
