Corel X5 Has Been Released

Quietly, Corel has released the download version of Graphic Suite X5

While the timing makes this no surprise at all, I have to admit that there was very little buzz leading up to this release.

Uninformed minds like mine have to wonder if this action is something of a way for Corel to try and make everyone happy. It's believed that many vendors still have lots of X4 inventory on hand and Corel Corp is trying to help them continue to move their old product.

On the other hand, some users badly need the 64 bit version of CorelDraw and Photo Paint.

Releasing X5 in this fashion may be a good thing for all involved.

BTW- 2 quick reasons to upgrade? Of course, new import filters are always good. Second, there is a great new way to do multi-step duplications in the Transformation Docker. Probably more reasons but we need time to discover them....
