There is no relationship between Apple and Digidesign.
The 001 is not the big money maker for Digidesign, nor is it marketed to the top line professional. It was designed for the home studio/hobbyist. Their money and majority of support is in the high end systems that have been and will remain the industry standards.
Want more than what the 001 offers, then don't buy it. Otherwise stop ya whining. OSX support will come when it comes, along with dual processor support and more tracks. It is no easy task to write software for an entirely new operating system,(if it was don't ya think some hacker would have one for sale to you by now?) and since their are far more high end systems that 001's out there, and the owners of thse systems paid far more money than us 001 owners, they are most likely to get their upgrade first, so take a breath. If you can't express your creativity with 24 tracks, another 8 is not going to help you. If your business demands more than 24 tracks, you can afford a bigger system than the 001.
