http://www.softexpressions.com used to have a page that explained the entire transition, but this was last year sometime and the page is not there anymore.
The softexpressions website still sells Quilt Pro 5 for Mac and related software, along with Perfect Quilt software. Maybe the company retained rights to Quilt Pro 5 for Mac and it is still in production; I don't know. I think Quilt Pro 5 for Windows stopped production when it was sold to Jenny Haskins.
Here is the softexpressions website for Quilt Pro 5 products for Mac:

I have heard that Quilt Pro is very intuitive and easy to learn. In your situation, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for a Mac.
I was very alarmed after reading this so I went to Quilt Pro's forum and here is what the company president said about this rumor:
"Thanks for your questions about Quilt-Pro. As you may be aware, there has been a rumor floating around about Quilt-Pro. Here's the deal: we licensed a version of Quilt-Pro to RNK distributing, to be sold under the name "Jenny Haskins' Perfect Quilt" so that we could expand in to the machine-embroidery market. I can assure you that Version 5 will NOT be the last version of Quilt-Pro! Of course we will continue to support Quilt-Pro and all of our products. I hope this answers your questions."
Further along on the topic thread there is another post from a company tech support person that states: "The other website is wrong. There are no plans to discontinue Quilt-Pro at this time. The price was raised due to contractual obligation with the company that is distributing Perfect Quilt. The two brands had to be equal in price.
Perfect Quilt and Quilt-Pro 5 have the exact same features. There is nothing in Perfect Quilt that is not in Quilt-Pro 5. The only difference is that when you install Perfect Quilt you also install a demo version of some of the other programs in that line. But they are not free, they all have to be purchased separately."
I thought it was odd that Quilt Pro would still be doing their free blocks of the day & quilts of the month so I decided to poke around their site after downloading all my freebies--(I do that every Sunday morning).
