Nobody (except for MakeMusic or whatever the company is currently called) has said that this is an upgrade that people should buy. If I had upgraded for the initial "deal" of $149 I would be very very angry with them for making this $99 offer. I did not fall for it back when it was first announced, and I'm not going to fall for it this time around either. I fear I will not be buying another Finale upgrade for quite a while, if ever. I start all my new projects in Sibelius and it's been years since anybody has contacted me about continuing to work on Finale files, so I'll simply stick with 14.5 and see if I ever feel the urge to upgrade to a newer version of Finale. And while all along I've bought every single upgrade, often more to show my continued support for Finale than because I needed something special that was in a new upgrade, I'm tired of paying for supposed bug-fixes which should be free in updates, and which in reality have not been as plentiful (at least for my normal workflow and projects) as the publicity claims. There has been nothing new in Finale that would make me buy an upgrade since they introduced linked score/parts and possibly one or two upgrades after that where they supposedly got the linked score/parts to work better. Nowadays it's just feeding the cash cow instead of getting real value for the money spent and I frankly can't afford that any more. So I'm out on this upgrade, even for $99. And possibly out for all the future ones as well. -- ***** David H.
