Mike Reed Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 May I suggest we knock this one on the head as we seem to have strayed way off the subject of Templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Quite right Mike!But before we do could we ask Brian elaborate on what he means by "left on the books"?Does he mean available to download by those who already have a reg key or......Available to purchase as a basic programme (complete with reg key)?DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I believe, Igor said 4.48 was going to be free when the 5 series got under way,then vista and it's problems came along so he had to revise to 4.49 so the people that had vista could use itken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflow Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Ken and Dave,Ken, that was also my understanding about Pte 4.48 leading into 4.49 ?But over the past few months have you noticed the amount of Pte-Users who are having problems running Pte 5xx on 'older' PCs ~ I don't mean Win '95. In particular certain 2/4 year old 'single-Processor' PCs and (entry-level) Portables/Laptops are alsohaving difficulties running V.5xxx - irrespective of the Op-System installed. This situation is going to escalate more and more as cheaper PCs/Laptops hit the Markets at very low (recessionary) Prices. This is not the fault of V.5xxx ~ It's due to PC-Hardware limitations and users who 'dream' of creating Slideshows with Pan-Zoom-Rotate and other higher function on unsuitable Hardware.If this 'trend' continues I am afraid V.5xxx will attract (unfair) criticism from those who simply dont know anybetter. Why should they? - as Computers are now a "Domestic-Utility" expected to work straight out of the Box. In these situations I always recommend 'Pte 4.49 Basic-Program' and when 'Purchasers' acknowledge the limitations of their PCs they usually upgrade to more powerful Hardware and having gained practical experience on 4.49 they also move up to 5xxx ~ Now we have a Happy Customer ~ not a dissapointed one !!This alone is a very practical reason for keeping Pte 4.49 alive ~ apart alltogether from those who use it regularily.This is my final Post on this topic.Brian.
