If you want to kick the tires of either program, you can download trial versions. Links to download the free trial versions can be found on the product pages.

Of course you can also buy the two products bundled together for a special price.

As always, I highly recommend that anyone wanting to purchase the products should choose the boxed versions so they get everything. Pricing for the download and the boxed versions are the same. Corel does note that the boxed versions will ship on February 8. In that case, use the free trial version until your box arrives.
