There are interesting things for me in this preview.
In 2007, the importation of Document Options libraries has been
broken (Mac only), making the updating of older files tedious.
Perhaps this has been repaired along with the new Document Styles
feature. I can hope.
If Score Merge works as advertised, it could be a tremendous boon for
me. I have updated hundreds - maybe thousands of parts to my current
standards - without touching the scores. If I can merge those parts
into new scores conveniently, that would be a sensational feature for
bringing all my files up to date.
I don't think that MM mentions bug fixes in these promos (if memory
serves me). They talk about new things - not repairs. I am hoping -
along with many others, that the broken things will be fixed.

Hmm, I have to grudgingly admit; some of those new features look
interesting for what I do a lot of. New Selection Tool/Mass Edit
combined into one, Record or Import Audio would be useful for me,
also Document Styles (though there is still no elegant way to
change an EXISTING document to another style) and the copy/paste
improvements look good, and there is Score Merge function now, for
combining movements or individual parts into one file.
But I hope to God that they have fixed those bugs! I see no mention
of the triple-damned Chromatic Chord transposition bug being fixed,
nor any Chord Tool improvements at all, no mention of lyric
hyphens, and I would bet a beer that the Graphic Import in Shape
Expressions is still broken.
