Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I've worked as an electrical engineer for 28 years so I'm well acquainted with the problems of 
support and upgrades for older products. The design team is too busy on the new product, 
the support group lacks the resources, etc.

If the MDK is as much of  a kludge as I'm reading I'd guess Korg got an awful lot of heat from 
dealers and customers to even offer it. Did they ship any MkIs with the MDK installed at the 
factory?

Nowadays we are so spoiled with upgrades and updates for free that we expect it even 
though the mfr gets no return on their investment unless they are continuing to ship the 
product.
