I think the real issue here is that we have a 4 year old or so product with nothing new. Bryce 5 wasn't really that much of an upgrade from Bryce 4, and everyone who wants this software probably already has it (for the most part). So how Corel expected to generate new sales off of an old product is beyond me. Not that I am personally interested in a Bryce 6, but Corel should have released a significantly new product a long time ago if they really wanted that product to remain viable. Now there are simply too many other competitors in or near the price range. Notice how all the products that came from Metacreations have either gone stagnant or simply dissapeared? I wonder if the code was so bad/old on all of those products that a "new version" of them would actually mean a complete re-write of all the code from the ground up? That would certainly be more expensive than an upgrade and would dictate the death of many of these products. And that crappy interface doesn't help sale any either! LOL
