Hi,

It's important to know the approximate date of arrival of Illustrator for Windows arm. Should we count in days or weeks? I bought an XPS 13 a month ago and still can't work with it. It's a little frustrating.

When will the fully functional AI be available?

Also the Plug-Ins are not working with Beta - when will those be working?

Hi @mkl5419,

I understand your eagerness for the fully functional AI version and plug-ins compatibility with the beta. Unfortunately, there's no official announcement on the release timeline yet. As soon as we have more information, we'll be sure to share it with the community.

Thank you for your patience!

Best,
