FYI: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Robert Lauriston]

The offer is "Adobe FrameMaker 7.X customers can receive a savings of
30% on the FULL version of FrameMaker 10 software purchased through
Adobe Customer Service, or a participating reseller worldwide."

Adobe charges $999, 30% off that is $699. Amazon charges $634.

Personally I'd stick with 7 unless I had a specific reason to upgade.
Adobe introduced a lot of bugs with the UI makeover in FM9 and if
anything they got worse in FM10. The last new feature they added that
I have any use for was the multiple undo in 7.2.
