i bought mmv in june.i paid $300 for it(at guitar center).since i've had the it,well,having it is all about i've been able to do with it.i know i may sound repetitive since so many people have complained about mmv's bugs,but these bugs are inexcusable.i'll be playing using a midi controller trhough a midisport 2x2 usb interface and POOF!my computer restarts.and most of the time when i try to switch to the sequencer page my system will say an error has occured and closes out mmv.the cpu load is a problem too,but i attribute that to the fact that i only have 256mb of ram.i run on a hp pavillion with winXP and a 2.2Ghz prosessor.if someone were to have problems with a cracked version,they deserve it.i just wish i could get my dollars worth.
