Mine is just vanilla non HD but at minimum i'll be upgrading to HD software soon, then eventually hardware.. perhaps HD releases get priority?

One of the big PITA with the Avid annual upgrade plan (from my perspective) has been that every update was a full installer - and a fairly sizeable file at that.

You want Avid to keep pumping out regular updates, but when you're dealing with a new, full installer, every couple of months... it's just not worth the headache.

So I'm glad to see that Avid are now going to be supplying patch installers.

Here's the thing though - I already decided that I'm going back to Avid's old business model, on my terms :

Avid release a version of PT that offers added features, and stability, that I require - I pay the reinstatement fee ( and get a years worth of patches / updates), which pretty much equates to an upgrade using the old business model.

I let my plan lapse, and carry on working (a year, two years, maybe three) until Avid release another worthwhile version, and I reinstate again.

It may cost me more, it may work out the same - I may even make a saving - but I'm buying the product I want, when I want it, without the hassle, and upheaval.

I actually welcome this slight return to the old way of releasing updates, with the news that patches will be made available - though I still feel the notion of monthly updates is a double edged sword.

Hmmmm... I don’t think they are literally going to be releasing patches for Pro Tools. I still think it’s going to be rolled into a full installer.

I may be wrong, but I think we’ll be disappointed if we expect the updates to be similar to say Mac OS point update or supplemental update.

I suspect you are right. Main advantages for literal small patch updates is fast roll out (as soon as a patch is available) and size. However, when a clean (re)install is necessary, one has to install the main full installer followed by its subsequent patches. It will be nice to offer both choices but it may lead to increased cost (due to testing multiple files, planning, storage...).

I read somewhere that they will simultaneously release a full installer, and just the patch installer.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
