Snow Leopard Compatibility

Is this going to be far away? Anyone know?

Seriously, we had many threads about this. Noone know when will it come.
I'm in the camp who rather wait even months for a good release. Digi gave us a prerelease, which has documented problems.
My guess is that they're testing the new release, but in reality none of us has real information about this.

You know the secret!

Ok, alright, fair enough. Was just a moment of frustration. I mean it's not like they wouldn't have had it for a few months before it was released or anything.
Whoops. Another moment of frustration.

Very frustrating I agree as I've been researching other vendors and so far ONLY Digidesign is behind although I haven't "extensively" researched but MoTU, Sonar, Digital Performer are all approved and work on or before the respective OS release date. Isn't this the point of "technet" and the beta programs so that vendors can try out their applications and get them working?

Apple did a great job with Snow Leopard's release. Besides having to turn out two "point" updates in less than two months. And that business of deleting all of those user accounts. And general craptastic support for plenty of programs (Adobe CS4, most notably).

Indeed.

We do have to keep in mind that Pro Tools isn't the only software having compatibility problems. I do recall Adobe CS3 having substantial difficulties with initial builds of 10.5. It takes two parties for there to be an incompatibility!

I was more concerned with the deleting of the user's data bug.

I don't mean for this to sound bad but this is one thing I liked about the Windows 98 beta program. You received "excessive" updates. I think I received over 50 new CDs during the beta program with bug fixes. Every little fix was a new release to be tested and the community was "involved" with making sure the bugs were fixed but not that Windows 98 was a perfect product but the overall program was great for the community to really find bugs. I wish Digidesign did more of a beta program and community instead of paying customers reporting bugs that take months or a year before it is even looked at.
