That sounds familiar.

I've completed the pre-order with the 40%discount, so one way or the other I will be working with FTM 2012, primarily for the anticipated sync functionality. I am gathering from these postings that it is an all or nothing sync, you can't just select parts of your tree to sync. Is that correct? And if so, does anyone know if there is working "privatization" option in FTM 2012 to prevent those living kin and their attached photos and personal notes appearing on the AMT? Or would I still have to maintain a private and non-indexable AMT and create a second FTM/AMT synced tree by exporting a subset of non-living persons that I can safely share and sync? Yes, maybe I do want my cake and eat it too :o)

Unfortunately, you are asking specific questions which can only be answered by someone who has used the program such as a beta tester. If this beta is like others in the past, the testers signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) which prohibits them from discussing specific features of the program or even acknowledging they were beta testers until after the product is released. So we may have to wait for some of the specifics about the new program.
