It's funny how many of you are now coming around to the same position 
on upgrades that I've *always* had -- don't upgrade until the 
features are compelling and the upgrade is stable. 

I've *never* understood the logic of knee-jerk upgrades, as it 
removes all the customer's power of expression, as well as exposing 
you to early adopter bugs. I understand that MakeMusic depends on 
those upgrade revenues, but this is a case where their interests and 
mine seem to me to be at odds. I'm not going to compromise my own 
interests just to keep them in business, particularly since enforcing 
my own interests is the only way I have to discipline them to respond 
to my needs.
