PointUI Home 2 Pro Finally Released

Did a quick search and didn't find anything, but it looks like they finally released the PRO edition. I'm not sure if I'm ready to switch again, since I just took the plunge on MS3, but I'm going to take a look. The basic was a decent item.

It definitely seems to be a lot better in the skinning department.

A free trial would be nice. Just to see if the differences between pro and free are worth twenty of my hard earned dollars.

Seriously.....what's up with a trial?

Isn't this the Free Version?

**EDITED*
I just noticed you were looking for a free trial of the Pro version, that does suck you can't at least try all the features for a limited time.

when it comes to the interface all i know is that the pro version has the built in contact card and the messaging window to get rid of the links to ugly winmo apps that the free version had

anything else new that i missed?

Yeah, I didn't notice there was no trial. That kind of sucks, hopefully they add one.

You know, the trial is the _only_ reason why I'm not buying it?
