Kinda like software.

I’ve been using CorelDraw since almost the beginning Version 3 in 1992. Still use it every day.

What do you call the first 50,000 users of a new version of Draw? Beta testers.

Basically, you wait for the 3rd patch to be released before buying.

I was in the user interface piece of software development and testing for a while and it used to drive me crazy when the developers would come out with a new upgrade and would bypass testing and go right into production.

I bought Corel video studio several years ago. Rebuilt my computer and tried to reinstall it. Their validation servers won’t allow it. Called tech help and they said they no longer support that version, and I would have to buy the new version, no discounts.
That’s why I’ll never buy a Corel product.
