Default Why?

Why are you people forking over money for nothing?

What is this upgrade about other than forcing people to starting renting software.

I love PT.

But WTF?

This is right out of the book 1984.

Default Why?

Same thing was said when 8/9/10 HD came out

Why upgrade a working masterpiece ? I know a guy still rocking the heck out of 7.4HD and a G5, buuuuuuutt

Walking is cool but sometimes it's nice to ride the train !!

Just saying

I'll be watching this train for a while. It wasn't broke, and they didn't fix it

I never really liked 7.4 and 9 so if it was me with old hardware, I'd take 7.2 (PPC) or 8.1.1 (Intel) anytime

And then there are those of us who enjoy just sitting back and watching the train wreck.

Very happy with my current rig and see no reason to change it yet. When 12 works great AND has track freeze, then i will make the move.
