Here is another chart, this one appearing today in Silicon Valley Insider. It shows the delta in Wikipedia editors.
Both figures chart the lack of ongoing thrill for the new and the free.

...I'd like to ask about the commitment you have, or your expectations of the various new and incremental initiatives you've spoken of in this past year, for instance, expanding the line of preconfigured suites, design-on-demand, simulation, Autodesk products on the Mac, so on and so forth.Autodesk ceo Carl Bass replied:
You'll see suites [bundles of applications], you'll see on-demand applications [such as yesterday's Bluestreak], you'll see new applications on the Mac [I predict AutoCAD], all that will happen this year.

Autodesk's price-cutting aims to push out ZWSOFT and snatch market share from its Chinese peers, pointed out [ZWCAD's] Liu Yufeng.
Actually, Autodesk has been leading China's CAD field with a 50% market share. In recent years, CAXA Technology Co., Ltd. and ZWSOFT geared up in the domestic market through the promotion of multifunctional and low-price products. From 2007 to 2009, ZWSOFT's number of newly authorized uses has caught up with that of Autodesk.
Besides, homegrown CAD software companies formed a CAD software alliance under the leadership of ZWSOFT, enabling partners to develop applications freely on the latter's platforms, which received warm welcome from customers and imposed great pressure on Autodesk.
Insiders deem that unsatisfying performance is another reason for Autodesk's markdown. ...Its sales value even dived 42% in the emerging market. At the end of 2008, Autodesk announced a decision to change the president of its Greater China region.
