if we have to pay for 2 and get another five years of free upgrades I for one will not be complaining....
Indeed. All 3 programs, designer, photo & publisher have only gone back to their full price of £50 each. Until today they were priced at £25

I'd happily pay £50 for v2. That works out at £10 per year over 5 years. But that's not to say they won't move to a subscription route on the release of v2.
