Review by Dave

I have a pretty decent background with high end photo editing suites and CAD software and I have a pretty big tolerance for lag times. However this Corel Draw package is so slow to load I rarely use it. The feature set? Great. The price? A good value for what you get. The load time? Two minutes + on a fairly modern Quad core system running Win7. I just couldn’t take it any more.

Now frankly if you are a pro, that initial setup is nothing. Once you are in, this package delivers on the goods. But since I’m using this at home, I don’t need the hassle of the overhead for most tasks. I would go for a scaled down Corel suite (save yourslef the money and time).
