The only way I'd upgrade to 2007 is for it to have some compelling
features. I debated about upgrading to 2006, but they were pushing it
(and still are) has having performance gains.
Ha!
2007 needs dynamic parts, or something like it. That would be the only
thing I'd upgrade for now. I'm not going to be lured into MakeMusic's
marketing again. And I am not going to put my system at risk with their
crappy installers and crappy testing practices.

I am one of many who turned down 2K5 and/or 2K6 because the new
features offered were not worth the price of the upgrade. Given that
2K6 is so disastrously buggy, and that MakeMusic has made no move to
fix it in a timely fashion, I will, obviously, be extremely leery of
2K7 no matter what features it offers, and simply won't buy it until
it has been vetted and found clean by its early adopters. I am sure
that I am not the only 2K4 or 2K5 user thinking along these lines.
Those committed to 2K6 may be stuck for now, but when 2K7 comes out
they will be faced with the choice of whether to trade the devil they
know for the devil they don't, and a great many will, at the very
least, hesitate before (allegedly) upgrading.
In other words, MakeMusic's abusive behavior toward its customers is
going to turn around and bite them in just a few months. Count on it.
