Given the choice between using Finale Windows in a dual boot Mac/Win

This part of your statement is quite reasonable. I do not think it is
acceptable to reboot to use Finale.
But what if you *don't* have to reboot? What if (by installing Virtual
PC) you could double click an icon just as you do now, and it opened a
Finale doc window just as it does now. No muss, no fuss, and no reboot.
At what point does your refusal even to consider installing Win on your
machine begins to look more like stubborn bigotry than anything pragmatic?
If WinFin were smart enough to recognize when it was running on VPC
under MacOS and provide access to MacOS MIDI, Audio, and graphics, I
think it would be a very acceptable alternative to a native MacOS
version on MacIntel. How practical this idea is I don't know. I merely
offer it as a third rail that no one seems to be talking about.
(Obviously, a native version is the best option for MacOS.)
