> I don't know if I dare.

It's probably worth mentioning that anyone who wants to try FM11 or TCS4 can download it and do so. It's a fully featured, but time-bombed, install.

However, don't do it on a machine that also has installed any other version of FM, Acrobat, and for TCS4; Illustrator, RH or any other TC component. The demo install is apt to wreck the older versions, requiring a complete uninstall and re-install, assuming you have the old media, keys, etc.

Yes, if you're on Win7/64 Pro, Ult or Ent, you could install the demo in XP Mode, but be sure that:

  1. You can (CPU has Virtualization, and you're not on Win not-so-Premium or below), and
  2. You are willing to pay the XPM penalty (loss of 1GB RAM for starters).

Adobe also offers a browser-based trial.

Had a quick look at the marketting fluff. Seems FM is becoming more like a main stream XML editor (Oxygen, XMetaL etc)

Not happy about TCS 4 ditching Photoshop for Illustrator

I remember a discussion about that - I think you can still keep your PS install when upgrading to TCS4 (haven't tested it out yet)
