I took another look at their website and it doesn't say one way or another if any of the functions are disabled in the trial. Maybe Charles and company know something more.
Sorry but their website isn't much help. I also looked for some similar wording around their other pieces of software trials but there isn't anything there either.

I'm never wrong. I thought I was wrong once but it turns out that I was mistaken.

Yes, I'm pretty sure about that.
First of all, why would Magix disable the profile function in the trial, instead of any other limitation. It doesn't make sense.
But here's real proof in 2 screenshots from Dutch reviews:

Note the button on the top toolbar on the right. Xara Xtreme has the profile button for feathering in that spot. On the screenshots, it's missing. Neither of the screenshots have 'Trial' in the title bar.
This is the page about Magix Xtreme at the Xara website:
http://www.xara.com/products/xtreme/magixxtreme.asp
The Dutch text is 'The features of MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer are the same as in Xara Xtreme 3.2'. According to the German text, the features are 'comparable'.
I think Xara and Magix should be very clear about the differences. The profile function makes a big difference in my opinion.
Hey - look what my system security just threw up
I am most unimpressed.......

FYI: Xara's history briefly:
(CorelXaras (1995), XaraX (January 2001) excluded)
Xara X1 (version 1.0, August 2004)
Xara Xtreme (version 2.0, December 2005)
Xara Xtreme Pro (version 3.0, December 2006)
---------------------------------------------
Magix Xtreme (version 3.1, early 2007)--released only because of Xara's acquisition by Magix.
Xara Xtreme/Pro 3.2 (version 3.2, June 2007)--released so Xara owners could have latest minor improvements available in Magix version + a few more.
-------my forecast--------
Xara (pro version) (presumably version 4+) (guessing mid-late 2008?--it's been a while now, must be good)
Charles has said that the Pro versions from now on will carry the Xara name, and non-pro versions the Magix name.
The point relevant to this thread is that Magix Xtreme was version 3.1, i.e. just prior to 3.2 by a few months. I think there was very little difference--only a few useability changes, such as the new drag-dropping rules and colour bar changes etc.
