"Sometime this fall" is all that MakeMusic is saying, and they're not making that statement publicly on their website. It's buried in an annual statement for shareholders by way of explaining income levels of the corporation. If you're afraid of buying one upgrade just to miss the latest upgrade by a short while, call MakeMusic and ask them what their policy is -- if you buy 2011 now, will they give you the 2012 upgrade for free when it is released? Get the person's name and employee number if possible in case there's a hassle later on. If the answer is no, then wait for 2012. Your friend should contact Sibelius about receiving a free upgrade to Sib7 -- most companies are willing to give a free version of the latest upgrade if the previous upgrade was purchased within a short window of time prior to the official release of the latest upgrade. -- David H.
