Remember this?
Hey, I remember that!
I called them two days ago to register Sib3 on a mac intel laptop as
the Sib. software blocked me from registering via the internet. I was
told by their rep. that it would run really slowly on a Macintel
chip. So, I guess the backwards compatibility rave is only good if
you have an old machine to hand ;-)
Ironically, I installed Finale 2007 on the same laptop and had no
problems in registering via email. Progress... I guess.
I was also told the upgrade to v4 was £172 pounds sterling, that's
338 US dollars by my currency converting widget. which is
considerably more than any Finale upgrade price and I presume the
upgrade to v5 will cost even more?
Also, you need to take a close look at the features you receive for
the price. They only attempt to bring Sib. in line with today's
Finale. They have again taken many of the best features in Finale and
are trying to incorporate them into their program. It's pure catch up
in my view. Rather like Vista and OSX dare I say?
Anyway, proof of the pudding is always in the eating.
Try it out.
I have.
Try both apps on a similar project.
See who comes out top.
I did - Finale.
A+
