Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

> OS X 10.1 to 10.2 was a paid upgrade. 10.2 to 10.3 was a paid upgrade.

You can't really compare that. First of all, the "minor" releases of OSX are 
all pretty big upgrades (OSX will always be 10.something). Second, these 
minor releases are viewed as such big development branches that support for 
the older one goes on after the new one is released.

So, even if Apple would use the same principle for Logic, 7.1 would be a 
pretty big upgrade and bugfixes for 7.0 would still be developed. Like with 
OSX, there'd be no hurry to jump to .1 as soon as it's out.

I doubt they would make such a weird change in versioning though. Maybe 
they'll charge for the bus delay compensation (as mentioned before) but I 
would be very surprised if they charged for an upgrade as minor as for 
example 6.0 to 6.1.

That's just your opinion. :o) Maybe the changes didn't mean anything to you, 
but 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 have quite fundamental differences in the heart of 
the OS.

"Minor" is just a name for the second number, but in the case of OSX (where 
the major number is actually part of the product name), it means something 
totally different than for Logic.
