Told you it was complex.

I thought the point worth emphasising - plus it is never ideal that discussion gets split across threads...

not unexpected as I also said, at least not to me; it's an obvious step forward [for the company], and if it works in the sense that uptake is good it will generate income

it will also mean xara has moved to a 'full subscription' model, something they were at pains to point out the exisiting magix desktop model is not when it came out

in due course I would expect the desktop part of the '+' model to morph away from the exitsting magix destop model that will gently fade away

[better leave it at that - don't want the mods to tick me off for going too far, like they did the last time I opined about xara's love [or lack of it] for the magix model]
