Commodore, Atari, Mac, PC ...

I have been using Lengeling's software since 1986 on commodore then switched to Atari in '88, switched to Mac in '94 and I have moved to PC about 2 Years ago. The reason has never been financial (I have sold over 15 millions records using Lengeling's software over the years) but technical. I think Emagic becoming a Mac only app is a step backward. I don't believe that Apple's acquisition will be good for Logic. In my experience when a small dedicated company merge with big one the small company loses its identity and drive to be the best. It is due in part that the founders of the small company get very rich overnight and their priorities change. Of course they always make statement that things will remain the same or better but it never happen. Apple's concern for the actual 130 000 Logic Mac user (how many pro Platinum user there?) will be little. Apple is looking for the big picture, an application every musician can make music with, that's great but not for the electronic musician who is always looking for edge. I would buy a Mac tomorrow if I could run windows XP on it, they look cool and they are well build. Since it is impossible, I will stay with 5.2 on XP for a while learn XS slowly to switch program later when VST3 and other innovation show up. That will be the end of a 16 years relationship.
