Quote - Well, there's also this to read before firing all weapons:
Quoting from same newsletter:
"At the time of releasing Vue 7.5, we will also release a free Vue 7.4 service pack for all Vue 7 products (including Esprit, Pro Studio and Complete). This service pack will add new functionality to Vue 7 and will be available at no cost for all Vue 7 users."

Yes...   but wasn't one (or more) of the features of xStream to be able to paint eco systems within ALL of the applications? Now...   in 7.5 you will be able to do it in XSI. And forget about Lightwave. 7.4 won't have these functionalities since they WILL be in 7.5.

Been a Vue user and upgraded everything since 3. Version 6 is the first I stopped at. Looking at what they've done, I'm glad I didn't upgrade. I WILL spend the money on T2 though.
