Whilst this Beta expires in June 2007, it is more or less a free licence for a year. Well, About a week ago (give or take) I said I would have a look at the Publicly available Windows Vista Beta 2. If you use a PC, you will lust after the most feature-rich program you can find-at whatever cost. Claes has amply demonstrated the app's production ability, intuitive interface and speed. If you use a Mac, you will like TouchCAD. It seems everyone fits one role or the other-and fundamentally does not understand the other. PC guys will always equate "better" with "more features " Mac guys will always equate it with more/faster/easier production.
