Update ability on 2006 Digital Suite?

I'm currently using Microsoft Digital Image Pro Suite 9, & I'm considering
buying the new 2006 Digital Suite. Here's my question I'd like to confirm
first with users of the 2006 Digital Suite: Does it offer the ability to
receive Microsoft updates? I ask because version 9 did not offer it, oddly
enough. Please confirm.

========================
There is no option for updates.

There are some rebates available:

Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006
is a downloadable 60 day trial version with
much of the functionality of MS Digital Image
Suite 2006.

Once your 60 day trial period has ended, the
program will de-feature to minimal functionality.

Unlike the retail version...the trial does not
have the ability to create VCDs and does
not support RAW files.

Be aware that it's a 109 MB download....

You might want to consider some other programs as well. For instance, Paint
Shop Pro 9 is going for a bargan price at Best Buy, since version 10 (under
Corels name) is out. $29.95 was the last price I found at BB.
