[TI] [Fwd: Re: Family Tree Maker 2005 and other versions]

[Laura Johnson]

If you get version 2006, you will automatically get the upgrade to 
Version 16 as it is a download.  OR you can buy FTM Version 16.  The 
differences between 2005 and 2006 are not the drastic change that you 
will experience going to 2008 and mostly just stabilize problems with 2005

FTM 2005 will not be supported anymore.  Version 16 and FTM2008 will be 
the only versions that the company will support.

I beta tested FTM 2008 like I have beta tested the last 8 versions of 
FTM.  I am very disappointed in 2008 and have stayed with Version 16 due 
to that. I felt that it was released way too early and without all of 
the bells and whistles that the previous versions had.  It was touted as 
an upgrade when it fact it was not that at all but the early stages of a 
totally new program.

The major drawbacks for me was the lack of reports and books as well as 
the fact that it could not handle the TI file which has over 40,000 
people in it.  It is very cumbersome and slow when working with large 
files.  People who had less than 10,000 people did not experience this 
problem during the beta testing.

Laura, is it worth getting version 2006?  does that have more or better 
capability than 2005?
