that could be because there doesn't seem to be one. the discussion back in august was -- in my interpretation -- more about resignation than joy.
a speed issue on mac has been fixed. so the loss of speed experienced witth F2014 has been fixed. it is now as fast as F2012. and we should somehow be expected to pay for that. "dozens of bugs" were fixed, although they were not listed so i have no idea just how important this claim is, but should we be paying for bug fixes? i don't think so, whether they are new bugs or age-old ones, these should be fixed in a free update, or at the very least ONLY as part of as more substantial upgrade, not as its main selling point, not when i am being asked to buy it. as i mentioned in that discussion, i am staying with finale "for the kids", certainly not for the amazing upgrades. but i am really on the fence with this one. if i had a client that needed me to have F25, i would be forced to get it. and i may spring for it today (because i might eventually have to have it), but i would much prefer to sit this round out as a political statement. if i buy it, i will for sure feel like i am feeding alcohol to an alcoholic that will just reinforce their unwillingness to make the first step: admit s/he has a problem. perhaps a better deal on the win side of things, but all in all, my reading is that is a less-than-inspiring upgrade. more of a "degrade" to its customers. >Thanks to all who¹ve chimed in.
