Guitar Pro alternatives?

[RevengeGoose]

I've been wanting to use read GP files for a while but don't have the scratch to laid down on a copy of Guitar Pro. Are there any shareware/freeware/abandonware etc. taht can be used to read GP files?

Note: I'm running a Windows platform desktop

I only know of GuitarPro to read GP files. There is Power Tab which I believe is free, but it won't read GP files.

TuxGuitar is a great program. It reads GP files with no problem. And the price is right.

How's it look on Mac? I used GP on Windows and then got the demo for Mac and didn't like the Mac version visually.
