Re: I guess an XP version of Pro Tools will be here before we get an OSX version...
As a PC user I must say 5.1.1 with Win98 runs smoothly here. Never crashed!.
Still XP is a better OS (as OS X [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ).
The release for PC will be sooner to OS X I almost certain because of few facts...
- HD & MBox cannot be installed on PC Based system.
- While Windows XP is actually the same Win32 API with small differences, OS X & MacOS 9.x is like the difference between DOS & Windows (not in quality ofcourse but in writing for it).
The entire OS X is actually UNIX (Linux) based.
so old those resource fork and mac's greatest (that also make compatibility of the greatest pretty rough with other systems and file systems) require Reprogramming and a lot work from Digi's side.
I still use digi h/w - s/w because of 3 reasons:
- They sound much better than any other system. (Computer DAW)
- They have the greatest UI around.
- STABILITY!. Windows/Mac, I can count on the system to run for as long as I need.
I guess digi decided to wait for a while (Why there's no HD OS-X version?) with OS X & wait until it'll be "stable" (only from 10.1 it became truly worth working [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ).
And still MacOS 9 is better than any WinBased so don't get upset [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] .
