thanks for the link digi but, i talking more about dishing out the $250.00 at this time of the year when money may be tight only to find out the software does not work. i see 8 is out now so i guess it is too late for the demo idea.
just to restate, this past year i was basically fed up with buying software that never works properly and at times ruins you stable system. i understand backing up to go back to your last stable state. nothing is worse than paying for an upgrade to have it not work,sitting uninstalled while you just shelled out your hard earned cash. having to wait months for it to work correctly. we all say to ourselves i should have waited till everything got sorted out before making my hasty purchase.
hope you can understand this as being genuine and not an attack on anyone . best sucess with 8 digi
