I paid the same amount to upgrade to WP12 that others did who had never used WP before. I was willing to do that (thinking that there would be added features). WP Suite 8 was a great program, and it works with Windows ME, but does not work with XP. My sympathies were with WP for having to catch-up. I purchased a basic WP10 program to continue using WP. Then I purchased WP11, which worked with XP, and I will continue to use it as long as it works - even though I seem to have lost (get a message: not available) a connection to their online HELP. I thought that WP12 would be an improvement - it wasn't. It messed up some of my WP and QuadroPro files even though I said I wanted the WP version. (It supposedly works well with other software programs -maybe so- but it didn't work for me in WP mode.) I uninstalled WP12 and reinstalled WP11. Today I purchased some additional Templates for WP - nothing useful there.
