In the latest issue of 3D World Magazine which has just dropped through my letter box (actually the December 2008 issue) there is a full page advert for VUE 7. It doesn't say 'coming soon' or 'released on xxxx' or anything like that, it gives the impression of an advert for a product which is 'available'.

It lists a website www.vue7.com which appears to be a slightly different version of

http://www.e-onsoftware.com/ but Vue7 isn't yet listed as an available product.

Now clearly adverts are placed some time before the magazine comes out, but this may give an indication at least of when e-on originally expected to have Vue7 available.
