I think the 10.7 OS is more reliable at this point. I work at a studio that is running 2 HDX rigs and an HD Native on OS 10.7.3 and they are stellar. No errors to this point. We are a post house and we also don't use VI's.

OS 10.8 seems to get funky. Some folks are making it work. Others are having trouble. I run a Native rig at my house on OS 10.8.1 and it's workable. I upgraded for a week to OS 10.8.2 and the system became very unstable. I rolled it back to 10.8.1. If I could easily get OS 10.7.3 at home I would.

Good question. Good luck!

Scott

They need to get started on 10.3.3 so it can work properly with all these new macs shipping with Mountain Lion!

Hi!
have been working non stop on a project for a week without one error message so far on a new partition with Mountain Lion and 10.3.3
It feel even more solid than on "Plain" Lion
Great job on the fix Avid

Stable HDX PT10.3.3 on OS10.8.2 here at El Rancho Audio. I do have some software (Titan) that still prefers something less...in that case I boot into my 10.6.8 partition and PT 9.06, which isn't too bad since I need to work in 9HD for other sessions/people as well. Since HDX won't play well with 9HD I have pressed my 003 rack back into service for that config. It's always nice to re-use old gear that you've de-commed...feels like free money :}=
