I've been a big Xara fan, since it's inception.
I've used the CorelXara version for years now and it still is very serviceable. I tried a newer version a couple of years ago and it too was a nice product, but the file format had changed, and while it could load my older files, they were then, not useable in my older version while the trial ran out.
So I am looking forward to trying this version to see how it stacks up.
