Bill Maher summed up the situation very well on a recent edition of
his weekly show:
"Americans will do anything to each other for money."
Cynical but true, and that is a shame; but why else does MM release
buggy versions of Finale?

Well. I certainly get the feeling that they actually fix things,
whereas it seems with MakeMusic each version of Finale introuces
more bugs. The worst ones seem to get fixed with the next payed
upgrade, the rest never gets fixed at all.
A bug like this I simply expect to be fixed immediately. Ie within
weeks rather than months.
I payed for the Finale 2k9 update only a few months ago. Lately I
have not used Finale much, and I have only used 2k9 perhaps five
times for very small jobs. Do I now have to get 2k10 to get this
fixed? If that is the case Sibelius is becoming a very likely
option. I am certainly not going to feed the folks at MM for their
ridiculous bugs.

I felt the same way when I complained to MakeMusic about some FinMac
2008 bugs, and they told me there would be no more updates to 2008,
but the bugs were fixed in 2009. I then requested 2009 for free, but
my request was denied. How would you feel if you took a defective
brand new laptop to the shop for repair and they told you they would
not fix it, but you could buy the new model, which is not defective,
for a fraction of the price? So I bought the Sibelius crossgrade for
$99.
