With all this talk about release dates for AC10, I am wondering what the new colour scheme for the box will be.........?

Do you remember :

AC6.5 Dark Blue
AC7 The Silver bullet
AC8 Olivey Green ( and definitly no bullet)
AC9 Turquoise / Yellow

Any takers on what the 10 Box will look like??

No box at all. Just a download and an envelope with your key in it.

... and a link to the online HTML-only help so they can modify documentation at will and we could only print out 1 page at a time.

My source says it is looks like a black round circle, but it is a black hole. It can calculate everything, but nothing can get out to be read.

A black box with transparent images a-la Apple Pro Software Boxes. Inside will be a very detailed manual - spiral bound to lie flat, virtual tutor dvd, and no key. Yes, Archicad will finally break into the 21 st century and realize that the key is a punishment for it's paying customers.

As we have seen, even the beta version has already been pirated. So, what good does a key do? I mean look at how online music and video is being allow protection by the greedy recording industry via DRM. Revit uses some sort of DRM.

Nothting looks worse that having an uguly green key sticking out of a beautiful Powerbook. What if you left in a hurry for a meeting but forgot to grab the key out of the back of the iMac?

Yes! that petroleum green box with those illustrations...
I liked the fact that it was something hand made (or not?)

by far the best! their abstraction and colour was 'vague' enough to appeal to a broad range of people and their geometry was architecturally alluring at the same time. more like that!

If you believe this post http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=9852&start=20 the ArchiCAD 10 CD will be encased in chocolate and wrapped in brightly coloured foil. Yummy.
