Slow acceptance

Why don't you read their website to find out what's different in the new version? That would probably be the most logical way of going about it, since no one on this site will be willing to waste their time finding facts and figures to spoon-feed you with information already available to the public. The reason companies will not be ready to switch is because most companies don't significantly upgrade their machines for at least 1 year after a new upgrade becomes available. Many don't upgrade for 5. This is not only because of cost, but because of keeping things the same for the sake of saving time from the learning curve required for each upgrade, because they don't want to risk their systems on an upgrade that may be too buggy to safely impliment, and also because of the adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Many companies probably don't need this software; and many, if not most, individuals don't need it either. However, the select few who do are willing to pay the price because it means greater productivity. The bottom line is: if you don't need this software, don't buy it!
