Question

Mathcad 15 versus Prime2

Can I get other peoples perspective on whether its worth upgrading to Prime. I have been a vivid Mathcad user since M11 and am very happy with it. I read that some of the main features of Prime are

1: Collapsable areas - well M15 has that anyway

2: 3D plots - again M15 has that.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any opinions.

Prime 2.0 is OK for someone starting out in Mathcad, but you would find too many things missing. Stay with MC15 for now.

I have to say that I too have been puzzled by some of the Prime material that seems to imply some long-standing Mathcad features were somehow new to Prime. However, it may be that such material is directed at a 'newer' audience who haven't had much, if any, exposure to real Mathcad.
