And you'll have to pay the big price because there's no upgrade path for previous owners.

RANT RANT RANT!

Only the puchasers of mac from today will have it for nothing save shipment.

B…DS (rude word)

I don't want to pay the full price on a system i still can't work with (got to change my software for)

As soon as Steve had finished not talking about G5, I went on Applestore

Had a hard time finding the upgrade page (as usual not logically labelled)

Bingo!

And no it hasn't changed since this afternoon.

DP for christmas
Logic at the worst on 24/08

that's pretty quick.
i feel pretty scared now.
apple are firmly in control of my destiny!
i can't help feeling that there will be less free updates than i've been used to over the years.

what worries me most is the vst support syndrome. i've built up a massive vst collection, lots of the developers lack the resources to abandon vst and pc, and i can't, on a creative basis, afford to just dump my "studio" and start again with a smaller, less functional setup.
keep it coming please lepetitm...

In fact, the announcement for end of august is not a real news, Apple gave hints of it before. About 2 weeks ago.



"Thou shall be my slaves forever"



For a bit more than 2 years they did a big release for money per year, a big update for free and 2 maintenance updates for free.

It's not the first time they choose to treat the users of the OS like that. They do believe in the "it's a licence to use, not a buy" BS for lawyers. People DON'T understand that. They feel endorsed by the software and believe in cool and fair update prices. It is simply not the case.

They'd sell the big update for half price to previous owners, it'll be fair. It's just a reminder Apple is just a MicroSoft/Adobe/Digidesign under the hood.

One day they should understand it's not commercial. point.

anyway, I will follow this (even if won't be around for a long while in august and september, lucky guys)

BTW, the right short way form my avatar is lpm (no offense

hi lpm!
i was actually talking about logic updates.
whole years have passed by without emagic rattling our pockets!

No arm done damann!

I've got a personnal rant against the upgrade politics of Apple (nobody marked )

guess it's over yes. Wondering if it'll give bad ideas to MOTU too…
