Hallo,
i write from Italy. I use Corel X4 on new pc and it have Windows 10: You know, don't run.I am outraged : Why should I buy back a new corel if my works perfectly? I did not know there was a deadline for a corel! I do not know whose fault it was or do not care , but I hope that the community give a solution . thank you all
Wow my horse no longer can pull my car! [;)]
Your concept shows a lack of understanding of technology.
You do not need to upgrade Corel, simply build a system with an old operating system.
Technology supported by Windows 10 cannot be totally supported with older versions of Corel. New features in X8 cannot be supported in XP.
If you don't need it keep XP and X4 and save the money, makes sense to me, but don't expect the rest of us to stagnate.
Pinetop said:with that horse/car analogy? That's just plain rude, sarcastic and condescending.
That's not rude, rude is far worse then that, it's professional expectations. The analogy was as it was because the expectation was what it was.
This isn't free software this is professional software and to expect that a company can backward support an application made for an OS 8 years old and 4 or 5 versions old is way beyond reason.
Minimum understanding of technology is a requirement, in the U.S. to say the graphics industry is a dog eat dog world is an understatement those entering the field best toughen up.
Some need to stop being so damn cheap. In the U.S. we used to take care of those who couldn't take care of themselves, now we keep increasing the excuses for taking care of those who WON"T take care of themselves.
This is just someone who wants a free operating systems and another company to support their bad choice.
Make a good choice, keep an old OS and your old software or pony up the bucks.
