What is the difference between Smart Suite 9.8.1 and 9.8.2? is it worth updating?

I upgraded to 9.8.2. I did not notice any major differences. I have been using smart suite for over 15 years. I find Word Pro is much more user friend than MS Word. I would like IBM to update it so It would match up the new material in MS Word. they don't seem tp respond to my requests.

I bought the software with support for a year. The support finished but I could still use the software in its current format. However, I like Smart Draw so much I got an upgrade to take advantage of its improvements.

Most assuredly. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if it didn't auto-update shortly after provisioning. Here in the US, 4.4.4 is the current version.

Presumably because the kind folks at Dell got a better deal from Microsoft for the outdated, inappropriate dog version. A couple days after getting my software and data re-installed on the replacement HD (a common failure, I'm told) I was offered a "free" upgrade to 8.1 (presuming that the three hours of my time costs nothing). So it seems that 8.1 is sort of included - or at least was in my case.

Logic Pro 9 is contained within Logic Studio. Studio has more features, like MainStage and Soundtrack. You might not want those, though, and could get Pro 9 alone at a lower cost. Also make sure that you are buying the full program and not the upgrade from an older version of Logic, unless you already have an older version of Logic. (That's not clear to me from the picture of the box. I think the packaging looks the same, except that the upgrade should say upgrade.) In that case, the upgrade is your most economical way to go, and will give you the whole package. It will upgrade any version of Logic from 7 on up, not sure about older versions.

It is the earlier version. The problems were numerous. The wireless adaptor malfunctions on a regular basis. The office products are not fully functional business versions and it can't open spreadsheets that have more than a few calculations. When I first bought it, the operating system was old and needed to be updated and I had to take it back 3 times to get it updated. I have requested support several times, but the answers are always to give me a run around. While the newer versions might be better, this was such an awful experience that I would not do it again.

I am not familiar with Smartware and use my Studio Book with Time Machine software to back up my Mac.

I believe that it is version 2.0. I am not certain at this point, I purchased it almost a year ago. I just moved and have not set up the computer that I was using it with.

There was only one real difference for me and that was it included Outlook. If you go to the microsoft web page they have a chart that shows a comparison of all their Office products. It may help you make your decision on which one to buy. Also, I chose to buy the Office Suite instead of doing the Office 365. It may be cheaper for the first 2 yeas, but, after that you are loosing money, at least that is the way I figured it. If you do buy I suggest that you get the disk s it is always available and you have a less time consuming process than doing it on line. Especially, if you have a slow internet connection. I did my first attempt using a hotel internet, which ended up with an error. I went to the Apple Store, took a workshop and used their internet to download the Yosemite upgrade in 45 minutes.

I believe it is on the ICS version. Else, you can always freely update it as you wish.

Yeah, I am not sure either, but considering C2 appears to be a more recent version update not to mention, cheaper and also come with free office 2013, that made my choice easy to decide.

hello, yes, I had updated on line awhile back, it took all night, was slow only because of our connection here in the forest. The update was free. But, it was worth it, definitely had some improvements that helped me with using WINDOWS 8 system.

Um, I don't really know what version, just looking quickly at the options I would say just normal Windows 8, not pro or enterprise. It has the Start tiles and everything, no Microsoft Office

Yes it is. By the time I had it officially you could upgrade to 7.5 but with unofficial software you could upgrade to 7.8

No. You can install whatever version you purchase. Just make sure it's compatible with whatever OS youre running. But buying Avid MBox with PT 9, will get you an automatic upgrade to 9.6, then 10, plus free plug ins

The software is supposed to be the same between first and second gens. The major difference is that the second is thinner and more compatible: http://www.nest.com/blog/2012/10/02/the-next-generation-nest-thermostat/
