What a surprise! After Xtreme, with all the talk about open-source and MacOS versions, plus the fact that Xtreme had some features of X1 removed, I had resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never see any big new things happen with this product. I wasn't particularly concerned, just a little saddened to think that the second most useful graphics application I had ever encountered [after Combustion] was taking the "low road".
Imagine my glee this morning when I fired the ol' girl up and got yet another of those mostly annoying pop-up boxes over Xara. All the things we've been asking for forever, seemingly implemented in the best way possible [which is just what we've come to expect]. It took me all of 10 seconds to get to the purchase page. What a bargain! Thanks guys!
