That may be the case, but Sibelius managed anyway, and by the looks of it will manage the move to Intel, too. That may well have to do with the fact that it is a) a younger application, and b) was made platform independent much earlier in it's development. However, as far as I am concerned, I don't care about all these excuses. Fact is Finale wasn't there when Sibelius was there, and I fear the same is going to happen again.
Being a little more serious than I have been the last few days, I really do not want to give up Finale. There are a number of things where I almost certainly won't become very friendly with Sibelius. But MM really has to create _enthusiasm_ big time for Finale with 2k7 or I am absolutely convinced they will fail miserably in the course of 2k8 when the next Sibelius update is due.
Unfortunately I believe that the yearly upgrade cycle cannot be broken until 2k7 comes out with a vastly improved feature set, simply because Sibelius 4 is here now, and Finale 2k6 is a pitiful upgrade in comparison. If MM manages to bring out a fantastic 2k7 I think there is hope. They may, however, still be under immense pressure to beat Sibelius 5.
