Although I've been chided in another forum for "believing everything I read", from what MakeMusic says, this is indeed the case. Check out the following press release: http://www.makemusic.com/press_releases.asp?id=16 In part: " Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were $1,658,000, a 15% decrease compared with $1,942,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in revenues compared to the prior year is primarily related to the releasing of the FinaleŽ annual upgrade earlier in 2002 than in 2001. Finale sales customarily are highest upon release of a new version and sales decline throughout the year until the next release. Finale sales were also negatively impacted because the most recent version of the Company's Finale product is not yet compatible with the Macintosh OS X operating system and a significant portion of Finale's user base uses Macintosh computers. The next Finale release upgrade, scheduled for summer 2003, will run on a Macintosh OS X platform. " By the way, has Makemusic/Codamusic _ever_ made a profit?
