No one forces you to buy the upgrades every year.
Ahem.
David, you haven't used Fin2004 on a Mac.
I have used WinFin2004, either because I didn't think it was worth the money to upgrade.
It's only the people who get themselves on the upgrade treadmill in the first place who end up stuck on it.
Instead of evaluating whether there was truly anything important in the upgrade (there clearly is not in comparison to Finale 2003), you just wrote a check.
Are you talking to me? If so, have you lost your mind?
David, if you'll recall, MacFin2004 was the first to offer Mac OS X compatibility. Mac OS X compatibility is bloody important to me and I daresay to most Mac users. I would have bought Finale 2004 even if the feature set had been identical to Fin2003, but with OS X compatibility.
Second, MacFin2004 has tons of "truly important" upgrades and new features, which have been discussed at length on this list, many of which I now find indispensable (which is why I suffer through MacFin2004 in the first place, rather than just say to hell with it). This isn't about the feature set -- the feature set is great.
The problem is with the *bugs* and the *lousy performance.* I don't remember them mentioning either of those things in the Finale 2004 brochure.
