I don't think that Studio 17 needs a new forum structure, as it's so similar to S16, and S16 and Avid Studio share a structure They just need to change the title of the current forum - and in the German forum it already said Avid Studio, S16 and Above (or something like that).
In defense of the staff, Peter, they have quite a lot to do. I've asked that the Comparison PDF is linked to, there are no S17 references in the Knowledge base, no Manuals for S17 available in any language other than English, S15 and Avid Studio won't install in W8.1 and above all S17 needs an urgent patch. So they are running out of digits 
Now if they hadn't brought out S17 so soon, all this could have been sorted out. But there is no use blaming the support staff for the Marketing decision.
It's not as if people have, up until now, never posted in the wrong forum, is it?
