ALFIE  Having used the software for a few hours now, I must say that I am impressed at how good it works, for me at least. It has crashed once but otherwise behaved very neatly.

A couple of things that would lift this up to stardom though:

1 When a download and install finishes, the list resets to topview, annoyance factor 2.

2 Suggested updates for CS4 when I run CS3, not cool. For my self this is fine, cause I know better, but others might be fooled. Same case with FCP, Motion, Lightroom and so on. Annoyance factor 4

3 Some cryptic error messages, Cannot find Application i.e.

All in all a good one this, but suppose that updates will arrive shortly :-)

Value for money: Yes, very good!

ALFIE  I have used Xmind for about 6 months on a daily basis, and I love it. It really works to create easy and fast mind maps that allows me to visualize a concept within our team or to a customer. Also I can expand and create tabs to further analyze any of the ideas or to make a more thoroughly explanation of a branch if needed and avaoid messing up the original map.

The shortcomings are the print options, they are a bit limited, so make sure that all aspects and also colors are retained before shipping it of.
