Legacy is amazing as it is, but it would be great to have a new look. I just hope it's basically the same as now and not cluttered like FTM or Root Magic. The last person on my team of family researchers just got Legacy. I was hoping she would wait till version 8 came out, but she got it a few weeks ago. She got the whole thing with training CDs too. EVERYONE in the family who is working on this with me has now left FTM. They all LOVE Legacy and are amazed at the features. I have been with Legacy the longest and there are more who will probably begin using it over time who are not on my working team. We are trying to do a book series for over 20,000 people for the first time in 40 years. As we proofread and things, everyone is finding different things that need to be adjusted. As I talk them through it (even when not at my computer), they are thrilled at how easy it is to delete unknown spouses in order to mark someone as never having married and such. They all have told me that they will never switch back to FTM after having used Legacy for a number of months. There is so much good in Legacy that I cannot imagine them messing it up. Other programs don't seem as open to hearing from their users and keep coming out with new versions instead of free fixes in updates that I know it is a matter of time before Legacy is #1. I reviewed all programs every time that Legacy came out with each of the last 3 version and I still found Legacy to be superior overall. Thank you, Legacy team and Geoff.
