Sorry shooshie, but the reality is DSP TDM is long gone......PC's have finally come up to par with DSP TDM, especially with the onset of X2 AMD chips. The proof is in Avid (digi) buying M-Audio, even they know that PC power is equal or surpassing, or rather, will surpass that of proprietary hardware solutions.Originally posted by Shooshie:
That could be the last straw; the one that puts MOTU out of business. Do you think they can afford another complete rewrite? And if they have to do that, do you think they'll do any more development on what we already have?
Sucks either way.
And what about us users? We will have to buy new everything. New CPUs, new audio interfaces, new MIDI interfaces, new software... I foresee this costing me easily between $10,000 and $15,000.
Dammit. I just want to make music. I'm sick of computers. Sick of upgrades. Sick of compatibility. Sick of having to make things work every time I change one piece of software. Now, we're talking about starting over, essentially.
Jobs doesn't understand what he's about to do.
At last--at long last--this will kill Apple and the Mac. I've never said that before. Ever. I've always believed the Mac would prevail. But it won't survive another chip/OS change. This time the developers will "just say no" to Apple. There is no money in it for them.
Steve Jobs, you finally blew it.

I got mail from Apple this afternoon...and offer to pick up a Mactel and a dev kit...Originally posted by emulatorloo:
FYI - Apple Developer site has XCODE dual binaries tools up and ready for download.
Also has Mac Intel transition kit ready for order for upper level developers. Includes a loaner mac intel machine and tools.

I would be happily making music in my shiny (well, not really shiny, my G4 was shiny- the g5 has dullish finish) new G5- I just barely reinstalled all my programs and all that...Originally posted by Splinter:

I probably spent $20,000 that year on Macs, studio stuff, and software. It's hard to pinpoint how much of that was SPECIFICALLY required for OSX, since I took advantage of the occasion to do a pretty thorough overhaul of my studio. But I would place that figure in excess of $10,000, and possibly as much as $14,000. If that is inexpensive to you, then I congratulate you on your wealth. You are truly fortunate.Originally posted by Splinter:
I was just responding to Shooshie freaking out about all the $$$ he said he spent upgrading to OSX. It was a relatively inexpensive upgrade here and I don't know why this would be any different.
That would be very nice. But I specifically remember a keynote back about 4 years ago in which he told us that one of the principles at Adobe took home Photoshop over the weekend and recompiled it for OSX in just an evening. That made us all very hopeful.Originally posted by mastermix:
