I didn't say anything remotely like that.
What I said was that since Win7 came out very shortly after the
release of Sibelius 6, they couldn't wait for Sibelius 7 to make this
change, because that's not due for a while.
Perhaps I have difficulties reading. You say they have a slower release
cycle, and I said I don't think that's true. As far as I remember Finale
2k10 just appeared so they would have had every reason to do the same, no?
Anyway, I know nothing about Windows 64 Bit and the implications. All I
say is, Sibelius has a much better record of releasing maintenance
releases when they are required.
Also, the 6.1 update really is more than some main releases with Finale.
The magnetic slurs are simply fantastic.
