With all due respect David, because I know you speak from a position
of experience, are you sure that things like graphics and sound are
that similar on both platforms? The system requirements for Fin08
don't list anything in particular that catches my eye, but I don't
know enough about the inner workings of those areas (in Windows or in
Finale) to say definitively.
At any rate, "not supporting" Win2K is different from "won't run on",
as I've said before. It may be simply that testing Finale on WinXP
and Vista -- and having customer service be aware of issues -- is all
that Makemusic can handle. I would guess that Fin08 will likely run
fine on Win2K, but if you run into problems, MM may decline to troubleshoot.
(Also, I think it may be that Kontakt and FinaleGPO won't install under Win2K.)
Aaron.
