I wonder if Family Tree Maker will allow a conversion of the software I just installed for my mother to the app store version. It has only been out for 2 months and would make it easier on my mom to keep it up to date.

Lets see how long it takes for Microsoft to make a copy for windows :P
Tried several apps, all the same result. Anyone else got this?
Also, I noticed that the App Store recognized that I have iLife 11 already installed on my Mac, but it doesn't recognize I have iWork 09 installed. Interesting.
Great deal on Aperture, I think, at 79.99 vs. the box copy at 199.99...
Anyone know if this is just a promo pricing or is the new price for Aperature?
Lets see how long it takes for Microsoft to make a copy for windows :P
I think they are planning to do it in Windows 8.
