This would provide Altium with the opportunity to REALLY send the price of Designer through the roof. Dip Trace in its present form can export its files to Designer if needed so all that is left to be done is to make Dip Trace conform to the Designer ethos.

Altium over the course of several iterations could modify Dip Trace to have its look, feel and functionality resemble Designer in a number of respects while still retaining its original signature. Then offer Designer for the large scale Business/Developer. Altium could retain the Dip Trace name as a Product Name developed for the Hobbyist/Experimenter/Start-up Business markets. A take over of Novram by Altium is far more elegant than going after Eagle. Why would they want to do that Derek ? DIP Trace is an established product that is no threat to Altium Designer As I mentioned to Dave. And even if that campaign is successful at peeling off most of Eagles users Eagle could still survive as a Niche Player. A buy-out of Novram would not only necessitate a remodeling of Dip Trace it would require a costly marketing campaign. No doubts Altium targeting Novram is a more elegant solution but buying out Eagle forces all of its users to consider Altium. This is why targeting Eagle for acquisition represents a strategy that is more likely to guarantee success. What I am saying is from my perspective the customer perception of the Eagle Program is 'it's good enough'. Note I'm not saying Eagle is a good product or a bad product.

In your claim that Altium would demolish Eagle in short order, were it to launch a competing product to Eagle, I (we) would need some evidence that there a large amount of customer dissatisfaction with Eagle. If a customer's expectations are met by a product they buy and they experience few if any troubles with the product they are more likely than not to unquestioningly repurchasing the same product. The essence of this adage revolves around loyalty that is built up from satisfaction. There is an old adage in Marketing that it takes 10 times the effort and 10 times the expense to gain the purchase of a new customer versus reselling to an existing customer. Its about Altium's marketing and perception of Eagle's Users about its product. This is not about engineering or whether Atium could provide a better mouse trap. There is little doubt in my mind a low cost version of Designer could demolish Eagle but not without a protracted fight that has the potential to be both costly and embarrassing for Altium. And what expense Altium is prepared to go to achieve that end. Dave what I call into question is to what degree a low cost version of Designer could displace Eagle.
