Here's what Gary Garritan says:
I am pleased to announce that MakeMusic! has chosen to bundle a Finale edition of Garritan Personal Orchestra with all versions of Finale 2006. Finale 2006 will integrate the Native Instruments Kontakt Player and include the popular and award-winning sounds of Personal Orchestra.
Having a computer notation program automatically realize great-sounding orchestral sounds has long been a dream of many musicians. GPO was the first sample library to make a commitment to notation users and was specifically designed to work with notation programs (See Keyboard Magazine article, February 2005 Have Your Own Orchestra-in-Residence: Turning your orchestral scores into demos with Garritan Personal Orchestra). The revolutionary GPO Studio, combined with 'scalable' ensemble building and linear staff-friendly programming, bridges the gap between notation programs and sample libraries. Thousands of notation users are amazed when they hear their orchestral scores brought to life for the first time.
MakeMusic! recognized Garritan's advances in notation/sampler technology and the choice was obvious. Working with Finale technicians, Native Instruments and Human Playback, a special library was developed that is integrated and optimized for Finale 2006.
In Finale 2006 the autoload feature will automatically load the instrument on the Finale score into the Native Instruments Kontakt Player (direct access and no MIDI routing or GPO Studio required). Finale Human Playback is an important part of this integrated package (Finale users may have already noticed GPO-specific menu items within Finale 2005's Human Playback menus). Human Playback imparts feeling, phrasing and nuance to a notation performance - even if notes were entered with a mouse. Human Playback has been enhanced further in Finale 2006 to provide optimization and special techniques for GPO (including legato and techniques for the various instruments). It is also able to run the updated full version of Garritan Personal Orchestra and the upcoming Jazz and Big Band library.
Here is a complete list of the GPO instruments bundled in Finale 2006:

Later, he says,
We'll have a free update available for download that will enable existing users to use GPO in Finale 2006.
He doesn't say, however, if users of FinMac2k6 will find a great
improvement in memory and speed handling. However, it should help to
have loading and playback within Finale.
