Did you ever get an answer? I got both for Christmas and I don't know what the difference(s) is/are.

Just go to your new version of FTM and click on open and then on your old data for family tree it will automatically update what you have to the new version, might also ask you a few questions if this is what you want to do and of course you do.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

Family Tree Maker 2008 is Vista 64-bit compatible, according to Microsoft's Windows Vista Compatibility Center (the URL is monstrous so I put at end of post). Family Tree Maker 2009 is not listed, probably because it is so new, but if 2008 is compatible I'd have to think 2009 is also. There's a seriously geeky web page that looks at FTM 2009 and includes Vista 64-bit: http://members.shaw.ca/arnie-krause/ftm_2009.htm. All that said, I do not have Vista yet. I found your post because I am considering getting a new computer with Vista 64-bit and had same question. Please post if you have success or failure! Thanks.

No but it is over all a better program than Family tree Maker. I use Reunion and Ancestry.com together. You don't get ancestry updates or anything from ancestry with it. I know Reunion is expensive but in my opinion it is money well spent.

yes there is a difference between all of the sets. I only ordered the 2013 because my son wanted those particular figures from that set. But you just look for the 2015 advent set.

I am using this exact one now and looking to upgrade. This is a Docsis-2.0. If you have to buy a new one then get a DOCSIS - 3.0

I don't see a difference - the only thing I can see in the product description the os2018 is a newer version and weighs less. I love it - makes a huge difference.

I have both versions available. Sorry for the confusion on the description I will change it as soon as possible.

The 2012 version is what Amazon confusingly calls (previous version). Don't quote me on this, you'll have do your own research, but I think only the 2012 version is 7". That's the first generation.

I think the difference is they were used (no software), new (got software). Just a guess. I plan on a new one myself.

I don't know if there is a diference between models. I have it since 2012 and works great. Sorry!!

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more:1. No netflix on this one2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so.4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this.I'm sure there are other things.

I called the factory with this question before I purchased the 2012 version. The answer was "there was a change in software which corrected a few minor issues." The person at the factory did not identify the "issues". He did say that the user would most certainly not notice a difference between the two. My 2012 works just fine with no issues.

There is no difference between the two versions. I ordered the CD because if something happens to my computer or Final Draft on my computer I could more easily reload the program.

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.
