To keep things simple, here are some specific purchasing questions that would be helpful to see answered in one thread.
1. When ordering the Early Bird Special, is this order going through
a. Vienna directly
b. the distributor or Vienna
c. the local retailer
2. When ordering the Early Bird Special, do you ONLY get the organ when ordering from the Vienna site?
3. Who runs the credit card for both purchases, and will we be sent an e-mail prior to running our card the second time to avoid ahead of time, over limit issues?
4. For budget planning, since you've said in the forum that MIR will be available in early 2006, how much do we need to budget for it? Also, is MIR for VSL only, or can it be applied to other libraries? Even with the Pro Edition discounts, many of us still need some idea of what to plan for financially.
5. To insure our systems are properly optimized, will VSL post the specs of the PCs you developed on? By specs, I mean a parts list.
6. For XP64, when will Vienna Instruments be optimized for that?
7. Except for planned new product releases, are there any planned paid software upgrades we need to know about?
8. If we own the Pro Edition, are we getting all the extended editions including solo strings and chamber strings, or do we only get the extended solo and chamber strings if we're registered users of those libraries?
9. What's the dongle pricing since many of us will have to put this over several machines? In one thread I read the distributors are getting the dongles at cost. I expect our Distributor to sell to us at cost, because seeing in print that you're giving the dongles to them at cost, we should be getting the same deal.
10. Using MIDIoverLAN, how many instances are you opening per PC?
11. I tried ordering on the VSL web site. I'm getting charged for the Standard Edition, but not for my VIP Pro Edition discount on the Extended Edition which should bring the total to $5020. Please, how is the ordering working and who's billing the credit card?
Thanks in advance for organizing this information in one thread.
