True, new purchasers are going to possibly have a problem (not everyone does) running 10.8.2, but no real Pro is going to run out and drop 3 or 4 grand on a new systems and the latest Logic unless they've seen it in action and it's been proven. If someone does jump in and expect everything to work, they're a rube!
- NOT TRUE! As a professional with a business I waited as long as I could but really had to upgrade my hardware in mid-2012. I had waited many years already.
Then it's your own fault for not checking out the current state of performance and stability. If you look at my posts over the past few years you would find that I've been extremely hard on Apple, I do not like what they've done with Logic, they've cheapened and somewhat neglected it and still, on the strength of the eMagic team, it's still one of the most creative MIDI/Audio systems available. I was the first one on this board to say that Logic has NOT been competently beta tested with either Lion or Mountain Lion. Since Logic runs perfectly well on Snow Leopard people need to take Apple to task by calling them, and/or letting them know by not purchasing their hardware. Apple is a hardware company, they make their money by selling hardware. (although Apps have been lucrative) Apple software is designed to sell hardware, a Mac is the new dongle (protection key) for Logic. They reduced Logic to an extremely low price (eMagic sold it for $999) to attract new hardware purchasers and now we have a whole new group of clueless Logic users that apparently can't read or understand a manual much less figure out what to do with their new toy software.
Even though I'm not particularly fond of Apple, I will always side with common sense. Any user that depends on an expensive product to make a living and does not thoroughly investigate it's current state before purchasing is asking for problems. There's also the fact that the Lag problem doesn't affect all machines, that makes the fix all the more difficult.
