I appreciate the approach that XLN is taking on this.
They gave us a heads-up, a brief idea of what new features might be, an opportunity to sign up for updates about the product release, and a basic release date vs. hyping with all the hoop-la and boog-a-boo that other vendors practice.
I am looking forward to the release and doing the upgrade isn't even a question for me. I like their stuff, service, and support.
