So how many of us are stuck with Frame 7.2?

[Everette, Dimi]

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm excited about getting FM 10 here at work. I've been using FM9 for a couple of years, and it was a huge improvement over 7.2 to me. I've used only unstructured and I'm just doing run-of-the-mill technical publications, but I love FrameMaker--always have and always will (probably!).

FM 7.2 was good enough for a long time, but I discovered that it didn't play well with some of the older books I work on, especially the large ones. Then came FM 9 and the nifty redesign--yeah, some of it's a PITA but you get used to it. After attending the Adobe webinar about TCS3 and one about FM 10, I am ready to go to the next level.

Regards,
Dimi

Hmmm ...

Why? What is Apple *exactly* doing better than Adobe? Can Apple add value to
FrameMaker?

I doubt so *very* much. Personally I don't find any acquisition -- either
way -- likely in *any* future.

As a 'roundly ripped off Mac user' here, my balanced opinion is that by
closing off historical upgrade routes - not just for FrameMaker, but for the
Creative Suite apps too - Adobe has created much more negative marketing
than the value of the few extra upgrade dollars it creates.

The sooner Apple buys the company, the better.
