The fact tat OSX has been slow to start (supposedly) is completely normal.
It's going to take a long time for users to migrate over. Most will require
that ALL of their apps be ported over first. I for one ca't switch until
Logic, Pro Tools, and a bunch of other apps are ported over, and even then
I will need to wait a while until they have be proven stable,etc. OS X will
be the standard Mac OS within the next few years, but anyone who thinks its
going to happen over night needs a reality check.Same goes for PT HD, it
will be a long time before all major studios switch over because they can't
afford to turn down the clients who still need the old system, or do
without they plugins that havent been ported over yet. Once everything has
been ported over and it has become dominant, the rest of the community will
go.It's not a matter of if in either case, just a matter of when.
