I have just downloaded 8.0 and have not yet made a final commitment on it. I am definately going to do so but just wanted to know something. Now that ver 9 is in beta, will I have to re-purchase it when it is availble for regular download or will that be included when I purchase 8.0. Is the upgrade process easy or will I have to do any complicated steps to move my files over. What is the approximate time frame that ver 9 would be released for regular download (weeks, months, etc). This I would like to know because if it would be fairly soon, I would want to just wait for this and then start right in with ver 9. I realize a beta is complicated to put a time frame on and I am not looking for an exact date or anything. If you think it is definately going to be over 3 months before a stable version is out there, I wil just go with ver 8. Thanks!
