http://www.soundonsound.com/ has a whole page about Sibelius 5. I have
YET to see them mention Finale 2008.

There was a short blurb in PCWorld (at least the on-line edition)
about the release of Sibelius 5, which starts off by calling Sibelius
the world's best selling notation software. True or not, that sort of
mass-media statement becomes gospel when read by someone new to the
notation marketplace, so they don't even look at Finale, figuring that
if it's not number one, it'll be gone soon so why put good money into it.
Where is the marketing department at MakeMusic that this sort of
impression can be put forth and believed? Not a single mention or
comparison to Finale2008, yet it is being released (or should we more
accurately say, rushed to market before ascertaining it's mature and
ready) at the same time.
MakeMusic has to do some major corporate rethinking in order to
survive in this marketplace, in my opinion.
