@ Kate: But what about this exorbitant price increase that was silently introduced while a year ago Xara promised us that a year hence the update fee would be similar? That was the deal you made with us!

In addition, I can't follow your reasoning that due to the frequent updating, Xara's costs increased and therefore the price had to be raised (why only in the case of XDP and not the other apps?). You introduced the new scheme and told us it would be in our interest even though no one wanted it. Now you're telling us that we have to pay 30% more because of the frequent updating!?! That sounds like double-talk to me.

Finally, some people here want to remove all the web features from XDP but I'm not one of them. I like it very much that all the features are being made available in one program.
