But we do know that the majority of software companies in the music industry understand that the world has now moved to 64-bit and they have updated their products accordingly.

Then BIAB developers have spend a goodly portion of this year working to please only them, at the possible expense of other features (bar limit, chords per bar limit, time sig limits).

Well, Mac users know that very soon 100% of them will require 64-bit! And you can bet it won't be that long before Microsoft drops support for 32-bit too. So, yeah, you can go ahead and toss that buggy whip!

Thank goodness we have folks like Pipeline who are willing to stir the pot and move people forward! I wish PGM would show that kind of vision!

UPDATE: let me just say that PGM have demonstrated tremendous vision and creativity and technological brilliance with their creation and production of RealTracks!!! My comment above was just regarding the delay of things like 64-bit and GUI modernization.
