Please Don't Eat Me, osx and logic Options

I thought because of the audiounit/coreaudio/coremidi thing in OSX you couldn't run VSTs in Logic 5 for OSX. A guy from Sweetwater told me that this is incorrect and all my old plug ins should run fine. Is this true? Or is it just that they have to be "carbonized" first by there developers and nobody's bothered? Is this an issue w/ just Logic or OSX in general? I'm stuck between buying Logic and Cubase...I just want to be able to use all my old VSTs from 9.2 Help!

None of your old (OS 9) VST plugins will work in OS X. They have to be carbonized.

Also logic is not (currently) supporting the VST format in OS X as they are trying to push the new (better) audiounits format.
You will find that some manufacturers will release OS X versions of their OS 9 plugins in VST format first others will release audiounits first.

Emagic and Apple have released info to developers on how to convert carbonized VST plugins to audiounits quickly. I think you will find most/all developers will support audiounits otherwise they will lose a huge number of customers.

You say you are not sure whether to buy cubase or logic for OS X. What have you been using in OS 9 to run all your plugins?
Logic has a free update to the OS X version for all OS 9 users.

Right now I'm using a somewhat illegitimate sequencer. Yeah, I know that makes me evil, but I needed to try something out, and the whole point is that I'm getting ready to pay $600 to buy either Cubase or Logic sequencer. I don't have qualms about trying something out before I buy it, be it software, mp3s, etc. So I guess regardless of which sequencer I choose I'm staying in 9.2 for a while since my plug ins run there. I just feel nervous, because I feel like either VST or AudioUnits will disappear and take their respective sequencers with them.
