I don't think this matters until Apple actually releases Macs using Intel processors. There should be some released in June at the WWDC so lets wait till then.

Actually it matters, because with no ProTools for x86 right now, there won't be plugins ported neither so it be better if digidesign release ASAP an intel version not for us, for plugin developers.

Unless you're a software developer.. you don't need to worry about what they're doing. They're a successful business.. they know how to run it.

Don't worry. They release for developers way before they release for you

I think this very much matters. Given Digi's timing on the last major Mac transition (I seem to remember that the first version of ProTools that ran on OS X was released at least two years after OS X was first released), I'm very much concerned that Digi might drag their feet and the fact that we hear nothig from them yet makes me nervous. I'm writing this on a three-year-old Powebook that is literally falling apart (hinge) and I hate to think that I'm going to have to buy a G4 Powerbook in order to still be able to run ProTools.

I, frankly, have little hope, even, that ProTools 7 has been developed in parallel on an Intel developer machine. I just wish Digi would give us a timeframe for expectig ProTools for Macintel. Somehow I have a feeling that Protools LE is not going to run under Rosetta...

I can bet they will announce their plans as soon as Apple releases the first Intel Mac which could be as soon as January so just hang in there.

Do we need to be reminded of the headaches of first generation G5 Powermac machines? Chirp chirp!

I don't know why anyone would jump on the Mactel so quickly for something as worthy as Pro Tools.

There will be people who are purchasing a new system so it is important for Digidesign to make Pro Tools compatible ASAP, but I don't believe those machines are going to be the best investment. I think someone would be better off to choose one of the current machines which are proven reliable.

It is for this reason I really appreciate having a backup PC. My main machine is a PB 1.25, but I have a 2g P4 for backup. I'm not expecting my Mac to die, of course, but I hope it doesn't during whatever lag there may be between suitable Macintel laptops being offered and when Pro Tools will run on them. I really like the OSX platform, though I'm also perfectly comfortable on the PC.
