"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

"ose users that love classic are mostly the old codger group who HATE change. forget that OS X has a better multitasking ability...a better memory management system, is 10,000 times more stable, and runs just as well as OS 9 on g3 systems (talking of panther here). "
No. The guys who love OS X are the guy who are tech guys. There is no question for me between mac OS 9 and Mac OSX. The first doens't even deserve the name of OS; I was amused by the crash of applications because of interrupt in a dynamic memory allocation.
"You are right! I guess BT, Seal, U2, The Stones and all those other producers are lying about loving ProTools and Logic on OSX. "
I happen to speak with professionnal guys in France. You know what ? They all hate OS X. I spoke with mac zealots, at the apple expo in Paris: they hate mac OS X.
SO the marketing about the big guys, I really don't care at all. Whoever pro sound engineer I am speaking with says that mac OS X is buggy (for them, buggy OS means app crash; driver crash, etc... They don't care if it is mac OS X fault or not. They jsut see that it works on mac OS 9), unresponsive. Almost no one uses Mac OS X for profesionnal music. It was surprinsing for me: a BSD-like system, with true multi taksing, and a good graphic system should be far better. but on a consumer point of view, it isn't at all.
Speaking about logic and pro tools is a joke : logic is apple, and pro tools 6 (thre only mac OS X version) is not really common in studio.
