GPO: A Dream come true

Lets get the bad stuff out of the way first.
It's annoying that if your computer goes into sleep mode, when it comes out, you have to restart the computer to be able to use it again (has something to due with Authorization). Some of the instruments have certain notes that crack and pop, but it's ok because there are always many different samples of the same instrument to choose from. For example, a few of the notes on a french horn click, but there are like 10 different french horn sample sets you can choose from, so 9/10 of them work fine.
The solo violins and cellos don't sound too good. But then again, if they did, who would buy Garritans Strad Violin and Cello for $199 each? :P

Ok so now the good stuff. WOAH! $199 for all this?!
The instruments are fantastic! The strings blow me away, they are perfectly realistic in every way. I couldn't believe how good the piano sounded. The piano alone should be worth at least $200. I like this piano better than what Ivory has put out. The flutes, harps, woodwinds, french horns, tubular bells, etc....all sound so good.
