* FH7 Looks?

[REMyhill]

I quite understand that viewpoint, and I am guessing that CP will not go the subscription route. I expect that when V7 arrives it will carry a higher price than V6. In my opinion £36 is very cheap for such a comprehensive package. There should, of course, also be an upgrade option, which I believe has already been announced.

I don’t mind a subscription when there is an ongoing service, such as OneDrive and Microsoft 365, but I agree it’s a poor option otherwise.

I would also be very wary of tailoring my family history records to one particular piece of software. Both FH and RootsMagic seem to be driven by individuals (Simon Orde and Bruce Buzbee, respectively) and we can’t assume either program will be around for ever. Unlike old spreadsheets written in Lotus 1-2-3 or documents written in Word Perfect, we need our family history databases to be available indefinitely...
