you're right! :-(
A friend of mine, working close to Apple (cupertino) told me that (pro) music making is even not discussed in the OS X dev team.
iTunes for all!

I clearly remember USB: USB is faster, smarter, and more convenient than serial BUT: 3 years after, Midi synchronisation still not work on USB: You have to put a stealth port to get a rock solid midi sync (with an old serial midi interface) And it was just a hardware thing... In 10 days, it would be a software thing. I can bet you than in the 2 coming years, 80% of the musical softwares (except the major ones) won't work on OS X. If as a result, we could get a faster midi, a unified plug-in architecture, a clever OS sound management (like windows DOES with activeX)....i would acept it as an evolution, but at this time, nothing is announced to be improved: We just hope that it will be compatible.... Not really funny

There will be a Midi solution for OS X. The guy that did OMS now is working for Apple.
But nobody know _when_ Midi will appear in OS X. As we all know, Applle doesn't care about musicians...

According to various beta-testing mailing-list of major editors (Emagic, Steinberg, Native-instrument,..), programmers all say the same things:
Yes OSX seems great, but we won't develop something before Apple communicates us the standards about MIDI and Audio programming. At this time, there are no guidelines or API, and we won't waste our time and money to re-invent the wheel. So we are waiting.
Considering that adapting applications to this new OS is a major work, and that Apple just said nothing to programmers at this time, it will take a while before anything work on OSX to make music.
What will we do this summer, when OSX will be the only OS running on new macs.
Apple always had a leadership position in the music business, but with the PC market growing every days and no softwares compatible with OSX, what are we suppose to do in the next month: throw our macs and buy a PC...:(
Nobody at Apple care about the music market or what?
I'm really scared :(

According to this MacCentral article, writer John Krogh ( Keyboard Magazine) strongly recommended against musicians using Mac OS X.
