If I purchase the academic version of SM2006 for Linux at the moment are there any plans to offer free/cheap upgrades to SM2008 when it arrives?

[Tobias-L]

As the pricing of the academic version is already very low there are no real upgrades. The academic version costs less than the upgrade of the non-academic version.

Opted to get 2006 for now then, great work

Any news on .docx compatibility for this version?

[Tobias-L]

We are still working on filters, but it will take some time to implement this new filter. There is no fixed release date yet.
