Hi All,
I am currently totally inexperienced with Vue.  However, I do have experience with several other 3D software packages (I do 3D CAD modeling and design for my "day job"). After researching several software packages, I'm most seriously interested in asking for Vue Esprit for Christmas.  I suspect that I will be able to have incredible amounts  with it!

According to e-onsoftware's site, Vue 6 Esprit is currently the most recent version available at the moment BUT they also state that Vue 7 Esprit will be available in early December, 2008.

My question is:
Is anyone here familiar with whether or not e-onsoftware is likely to offer a free (or near free) upgrade if I have my family order Vue 6 Esprit, and then Vue 7 Esprit is released soon after it is ordered?  Or does anyone know an official release date for  the new version (other than "early December 2008")?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm totally unfamiliar with this company, and I'm apparently having a "want to start playing now" problem.

Thanks for any advice that can be given.
