I updated my MindManager 7 to 8.1.920, there is no big chang on the views, it also looks like MS Office 2007.

There are some new functions that make me  exciting.

1.Share and Share alike. A whole mind map can be export as a mindjet player. The file exported is swf or pdf. Both of them are Dynamic,  your can expand/collapse branches. That’s very useful.

2.Integrated many functions. We can edit office files in MindManager8 and browse website in the embedded browser.

3.Task Automation. Many some task images will roll-up automatically. That souds good, but I didn’t use that untill now.

FreeMind is another mind mapping software I used, this is an open source software, and it’s free of charge. But the functions of FreeMind are not good as them of Mind Manager 8. If you want to use Mindjet MindManager 8, US$349 per user will be paid.
