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! [;)]
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.
Ripcord there's a lot of old hardware floating around, (speaking from a U.S. perspective) and if you have a good XP disk download the updates and install on a stand alone system. I know several people who do that and run V12 X4 or what ever. Great software and a great OS within the parameters of their work flow.
We have two Windows 7 systems that run RIPS, the RIP provider wants the systems to have internet access for support but they will not update the RIPs to work with new Windows 7 updates so I won't let the systems have internet access. This is $9,000 software so if there's a reason to be pissed I feel I have a legitimate one, but the RIP provider does not care and will not keep up with the changes with Windows.
