Yes, I understood, was just trying to know opinions about what the new OS could bring in terms of performance or features for audio work.
We also had to buy a new iMAC Pro in the beginning of the year(there was no sign of MAC Pro launch then) and had to stick with Mojave pre-installed and was not a very pleasant experience, so I understand you.

Actually, in the Apple site it says that the new Mac Pro ships with Mohave. I was also thinking it was Catalina but seems that Mohave will be the initial OS.

There have been zero situations where Apple has shipped hardware with an old macOS.

Catalina comes out this month. The new Mac Pros are still not scheduled to ship (or order.) You can do that math. They will update the website because websites can be easily updated.

Of course *if* indeed Apple has promised to ship them with Mojave and they don't I smell a lawsuit. Just don't know how valid the so called promise would be when Mojave is their current operating system. Historically, the day Catalina comes out means new hardware will ship with it installed and won't work with earlier OS.

I remember back in Jaguar times (2002!) some hardware were released just the same time with Panther and they shipped with a special version of Jaguar that was only available on the factory install. If you needed to reinstall the operating system on those, you needed to install Panther. I guess they could do the same here, but who would want that if the point would be relying on Mojave for some years to come?

They are not even up for order.
There are no T&C of sale to agree to until they actual put them up for sale.
I could make a video of a blue frog that talks and say I'll be selling it soon and never put it up for sale. But until there's a party with some kind of standing of injury (like a customer who places an order), there are no grounds for lawsuits.

There you go, proves my point. Catalina shipping first, it is a given new hardware ships with it.

The market for the new Mac Pro is video, a market they almost completely lost thanks to the trashcan and FCX. Shipping it with only Catalina would be a colossal mistake because it would be incompatible with literally decades of existing video projects.

We'll see. If they release Catalina first and ship Mac Pro later as Mojave compatible, that would be notorious.
