With Finale, any of us are free to jump off the "pay-for-features-you-probably-won't-use-along-with-a-couple-of-bug- fixes" annual upgrade merry-go-round and to continue to use our most recently purchased version (and any/all previous versions) for as long as we wish to.
On the Mac, that is not strictly true. FinMac 2002 was an almost perfect program, and I would still be using it today were it not for the fact that it will not run under Mac OSX. OSX required me to "upgrade" to Finale 2K4--which was in fact no upgrade at all, but a buggy step backward. All subsequent Mac versions of Finale use 2K4 as a baseline--and indeed, 2K7 is a superior product to 2K4, though it is still dramatically inferior to 2K2.
Only half of this problem is MakeMusic's fault. The other half is Apple's.
