Since 1994 I'm using with full satisfaction CorelDraw v.5 passing from Win 3.10 to Win 7 - 32bits. Due to PC evolution I'm obliged to go to 64bits, but I did not found yet a simpler 2D drawing tool as CorelDraw version 5. What to do ?
Thanks

I agree. Version 6.0 was developed for Windows 95, when the operating system was already called "Chicago", and was launched on December, 1994 because the entire world expect Chicago on January, 1995. But Microsoft change their plans, and the internal structiure of the operating, that becomes on Windows 95 on Aust, 24th (I remember this date, it's my birthday!) . So, part of the CorelDRAW 6.0 was not fully compatible with Windows 95 or don't take advantadge of the new operating system, so that force to bring forward the version 7.0. Anyway, version 8.0 was the version 6 and 7 improved, son the version 9.0 was the better of the entire cycle. When version 10 starts, made for Windows XP, a new cycle starts (ie, replacing CorelSCRIPT by Visual Basic for Applications). On this current cycle, X7 is the latest one, Hope that new step with X8 will be as good as golden age.
