Well more and more is now
running in OS X on Mac, and now OS X Jaguar is here.

Cubase SX release 10 oktober for OSX
Logic allready runs in OS X
Reason 2 Runs in OS X

other apps like Finalcut-Premiere -office
Photoshop -dvd studio -maya -bryce
and so on....also runs in X.
is starting to be a OS that people use.

and all macs from 2003 will only be able to
run with OS X.
bad in one kind of way,(no more os 9 apps) but it will be a music system that rocks.

I really hope CW will hurry up this.
if it dont run in OS X soon, I feel i put my CW card in another computer and run it from there
so I can run my other X apps from my Mac machine.

but...I hope...hope...that they soon release a OS X mac version.

I'm not really a Mac guy - yet. Too bad that you can't dual boot a Mac like a PC (or is that possible?)
I have Win98SE and XPPro on the same box. And it works really great! I use tripleDAT, Samp6, or LAP 5 on 98SE; and LAP 5, Cubase SX, or Samp6 on XPPro - that is what ever I feel/need like using....

Of course you can dual boot the current machines. It's even more simple than anywhere else with a control panel.
But this doesn't apply to the next Mac generation.
Apple wants to push OSX in the market and forces you to migrate (different from their previous OSes where it was up to you).
For 'classical' OS9 apps that's no big deal as there's a compatibility environement that doesn't affect performance too much.
But the hardware interfaces have to be initialised by the native OS, which will be OSX then. The GUI might try to start up in that 'classical' mode but of course it would miss it's hardware counterpart...

Creamware says they will have an OSX version ready summer 2003.
