I have such problem but get no answer , I updated my old post but it was deleted as "abusive" (do not know why moderator deleted my problem )
So :
i have strong PC, Nvidia 780 GTX, Windows 7 64, a lot of memory etc.
i have X5 , i tested X7
it freezes PC when i use "marquee visible" on thin lines objects/layers
i work on making textures for models - as someone knows 3d modelling - model has mesh, this mesh has "UV mapping"
so normal job to paint textures for models - when you use UV map mesh
but Corel freezes PC when i use "marquee visible" , it simply freezes PC (do not tell me to update drivers - i know such things - i have all up to date)
i wrote answer to you but they deleted "as abusive and spam" i was counting prices here of software comparing to USA (EU has VAT tax nor present in USA)
VAT tax is ca 23%
generally - prices of software here are doubled
salaries - in western europe are like USA
in eastern are 4 times lower
1 USD costs 3.4 PLN, Corel ugrade is 1500 PLN (1500:3.4=450 USD) , Corel full box is 2600 PLN
10 USD is work-hour of IT-coder, usual worker gets like 4-5 USD per hour
you have the same situation with other software and with weapons (they cost 2 times more than in US)
what is less expensive in EUrope is medial treatment./healthcare
western Europeans earn 2-3 000 Euros which is 7-10 000 PLN, usual Pole earns 2500-3500 PLN to hand (after taxation)
so full retail box Corel is 1 monthly salary of average Pole, 2 salaries of Ukrainian or Russian, Belarussian , Slovak
also cars prices are here much higher than USA - brand new cheapest small car from factory is like 12 000 USD (small city-car like Skoda Fabia)
EUrope is expensive, Eastern EUrope has cheaper food, but rest is more expensive than USA (cars, electronic stuff, cameras, weapons, IT, software, computer parts, shoes , jackets , goretex clothes)
another example :
jacket made of poor copy of goretex - in USA cost 100 USD, here costs like 250 USD (the same jacket from company "Condor")
iin case of weapons (i have gun license which is rare in EU) i paid for Glock twice more than Americans while in USA you have for the price holster and 3 magazines, in EU you have only 2 magazines and no holster (2700 PLN in Poland)
for Condor jacket i had to pay 250 dollars, the same jacket is in US shops for 100 dollars
i work in IT for 10 dolars per hour which is counted as good money here, good salary here , cause shop asistants earn like 4 dolars per hour
Photoshop CS6 box cost here 1000 USD
Thank you so much for the information regional economic situations dictate decision making. The only way to get information like this is to ask working people like yourself, reading our media in the U.S. makes comic books look like historical documents.
Computer equipment in the U.S. is very reasonably priced also when compared to many other areas of the world. Health insurance used to be reasonably priced until the government got involved with it, our problem in the U.S. is that people think they have to have everything, fancy car, 72" TV, designer underwear. Good luck!
