It's just a little smarter about it than Windows -- it knows which

still open in Finale, not Acrobat or Preview. And if I change the
extension to ".bak", it will still open in Finale.
Does that mean you cannot force another app to open any file on
Mac? Or is
the 'sticky' association more of a convenience?
The latter. I can, for instance, drag my Finale files to TextEdit and
force-open them that way.
Also, I noticed that OS X is not quite as smart about this as I
thought. Sometimes, changing the file extension to .PDF really will
cause Finale files to (try and fail to) open in my PDF reader. I'm
not quite sure why this doesn't happen consistently.
