I think this concept is just a way to put more money into Xara's pockets without providing any additional value to me. I greatly prefer the old way. I also generally updated yearly and I've been using Xara since the Corel days, probably more than 15 years ago. I don't mind Xara getting money, if they develop a product that's worth something they should get money for it. But I think that schemes who's only purpose is to line the pockets of Xara don't do the brand any good.
