If you have FTM 2008 you can request the free upgrade to FTM 2009 on
Ancestry.com. I think this is a one time deal. FTM08 was so full of bugs
that rather than sending out a bunch of patches they offered the upgrade to
09 free.
Ancestry.com now owns FTM and with the 2008 version they did a
major revision of the software. Now that I have FTM 2009 I really like it -
but, in order to take full advantage of it you have to subscribe to
Ancestry.com
