Aieee!

Logic 7.0 has some problems. Everyone knows that, even religious 
Logic zealots who whitewash it ("some people are having problems but 
my rig is more stable than a barn").

But why go on and on? All that's going to do is dishearten 
programmers who read these posts (if anyone from the Logic department 
reads this list). If you've uncovered more problems, okay, but 
otherwise my guess is that we'll see an update that fixes a lot of 
the problems.

That's a separate issue from OS X.

It's true that there appear to be some versions of Panther that are 
better than others - I'm still on 10.3.4 - but I've been using it for 
a year, and there's no question that it's more stable than the 
original Mac OS.

I used to need to restart my machine at least three times a day for 
one reason or another, and that wasn't when I was troubleshooting, it 
was just under normal use. That's not an exaggeration, it's pretty 
realistic. (Bear in mind that every one of our rigs is a house of PCI 
cards, of course, so I'm not saying that everyone who used Macs had 
the same experience.)

Now I rarely have to restart, and when I do, booting up in Panther is 
about five times as fast. For a long time I felt OS X was just a huge 
pain in my ass - everything worked, so why buy it all over again - 
but that was before Panther. It's a huge improvement.

I have to disagree that it's not final or stable.
