That's not true. Competitive cross-grade pricing is very common in
the software world.

You mean like the $199 crossgrade price MM offers to Sibelius owners?
(Incidentally, the normal crossgrade price offered by Sibelius is
also $199; the $99 price is a special for October.)
Don't forget also that you can get Fin08 for only $100 if you happen
to own last year's Finale, whereas it costs $600 to a new customer.
Or you could buy it new for $350 if you happen to be associated with
a school or chuch.
