12.4 is fine on Win and OS X for me. ANNND always do as Clonemeister Albee suggests. All my rigs have at least a pair of clones running and I keep an emergency offline disk. In the case of 12.5, I installed it on a Win7 clone and found it to suck pretty badly so it was easy to boot back to 12.4 on another drive and later roll the 12.5 back to 12.4 where I'm staying put for awhile. It's too bad the collab deal has broken things, but it's new territory for Avid and any early adopters. There's a lot of potential for the idea but I have some doubts as to real world implementation and I have a Fiber internet connect and server...which I can't take full advantage of since Avid wants to be a cloud vendor now.
