I guess the question is will Fritz 9 updates be freely downloadable not like the 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 updates of version 8? where if you wanted that engine you had to buy a whole other package If so this will provide a little more incentive to buy now Seems like a decent trade off if asking customers to buy by faith trusting in possible future strength increases Tom Tom
