The beta version of version 5 worked a lot better than 4.5 did when 
testing the beta on FC3 as host.  I tried the windows host version and 
there was no real difference in the look or functionality between either 
   host version.
There seems to be improvements significant to make upgrading worthwhile. 
Too bad that it is not free. 99 dollars for an upgrade? This might be 
in-line with market.
