Hi outliners,
I occasionally visit brainstormsw.com just to see if there is any development. I see now that there is a video about a new version called Brainstorm WFO, which is available for $40. I tried the download link but it just gives me the old brainstorm that I already have installed. I am reluctant to pay for the new version if all I get is the version I have. So: has anyone paid for and tried BrainStorm WFO? Any experience to report?

My guess is that there isn’t really a new version yet, and the new owner has just begun changing the name for marketing purposes. From the video, it certainly looks the same (although new development in BrainStorm would not necessarily result in any visual changes). I could be wrong, but I wouldn’t buy it unless the trial copy you download is actually new rather than the version you already have.

What is the URL you’re looking at? When I try to go to the http://www.brainstormsw.com site, it bounces me to this
http://%20http//brainstormsw.com/outliner/lkjlkj-2-3/
where I end up with an “Internet Explorer cannot display the web page” message.
Thanks!

Steve.
The same here: Internet Explorer can’t display the page, Firefox can, though.

Curiouser and curiouser. I had noticed that the URL was a redirect (which is often a bit suspicious) and that the Proceed button takes you on to the old branstormsw.com page. I see in the video (using Firefox, it seems very strange that IE can’t view the page) that the main difference between this (vapour?) new BrainStorm and the current version is the addition of 5 numbered marks to complement the mark. But until that is included in the trial version I won’t be giving them any money. I’m happy enough with my faithful BrainStorm anyway.
