Interesting find!

But I'm wondering about the pricing part of it...says "next year prices" but it's not quite 100% clear if that will take effect exactly on Jan 1, 2010...maybe that should be added, or saying that "old prices effective until Dec 31, 2009" or similar...maybe it is clear, but I don't see it.

I'd also have said on 8.60: "To be released Nov 2009"...

OK, is this clearer "...will be reflected in new prices on 01-Jan-2010", or would you read that as "new prices only on 01-Jan-2010"?

I would then say "...will be reflected in new prices effective 01-Jan-2010"

Then I'll follow you trustily.

Despite the forecast, 8.60 didn't deliver CHM help. I strongly suspect that this is because of a delay in releasing a new version of the CHM authoring software. Is my suspicion correct? Just a quick yes/no will suffice if you would be kind enough

Yes.

The new version of the CHM authoring software was released some days ago. So 8.70 will definitely have CHM.
