X1 is already pretty stable and well known by the bakers and users as well. I would not have any problem to pay for additional modules and some major updates like X1d was by the way.

I think that at the end of the day it will be a balance between marketing, salary of the bakers, and cost in general. 

Hoping for Sept/Oct too.

Would be good strategy?

Not releasing when everybody bought their christmasgifts(to others or themselves).

My prediction is in July we get X1 purchase with free X2 updates.

Hmmmm - good question.  I'm really enjoying X1D Expanded, it's been very stable for me and there is no particular feature that's a deal breaker for me right now that would encourage me to be an early adopter if they did release X2 or whatever they will call it.  This may be the first time I'd not buy in immediately as I'm very happy with X1D Expanded right now.

Don't get me wrong - if my wife wanted to get me the upgrade as a gift I wouldn't complain. 

X1 D is full of problems that seriously need to be addressed before moving on to X2. I've tried to remain optimistic. X1 has been embarrassing in the real world for me. Holding on to an X1Exp Producer e.

As far as I'm concerned, they can keep on adding to, improving and enhancing X1's capabilities until the end of time (21/12/12)

What's the name of month 21? Confused Yank I Am.

Hi Blogman
What problems are you having with X1d?
Cheers

Add to X1 and Fix The Bugs! no new stuff till this stuff works as its supposed to then build on that X!

What I want (as soon as possible) is a few things fixed and a few things improved:

Browser View:
    Icons - WYSIWYG display.  No icons of icons.
    I would like a drag and drop of clips from the Browser that would allow to drag only a segment of a clip.
    I would like the bug that causes the DnD of an icon to fall through to a unexposed (covered up) track when the bus pane overlaps the track pane to be fixed.

Console View:
    Please make a way for more than 2 sends to be visible at a time.
    Please allow the DnD of an icon from the Browser to the Console.
    Please give the user more power to adjust what and how much can be see in the strip modules - vertical bars or scaling.

Automation Envelopes:
    Please give us three states that envelopes can be view and manipulated by toggling a button:
        As currently implemented
        A single lane with all envelopes present sharing the lane, colored separately and accessible
        Multiple separate envelope lanes where each envelope has a separate lane.

Whether it's an X2 product, or an X1 extension / patch is, I think, largely immaterial. Either one will be an improvement upon and evolution of what we have now. So the only thing that matters is that there continues to be a good value for money proposition. X2 / X1e/f/g is really just the wrapper the proposition comes in.
