I agree ....Painter 8 was on my list ..no more..Corel draw will be going ...this is an insult ....I was so glad that I could buy quality products from a Canadian company (we don't have many up here). I just can't believe it. Platform preferences aside it can't take that much more cash to develop both. I completely agree with the aformentioned markerting problems ..while Corel was well known to me with offices literally blocks away, I learned of the software originally by fluke! sorry for the rant but this just blows!
