No holy war here. You are right on point. You nailed it about apple being
more tightly integrated with their audio infrastructure. And yes. Upgrades
break everything sometimes, no matter what platform you're on.

This is "Holy War" stuff; but I think it is the more tightly controlled
Apple environment that makes it that way, although listening to the Studio
Project Network podcasts, I certainly heard lots of horror stories about
people jumping on upgrade wagons too early and having lots of pain for their
pleasure.  (grin)  Ain't no perfect world, neither MAC nor Linux, it's the
user's knowledge and keeping things organized, and not testing on a
production machine.  I just had my first necessity to reload an OS (except
for learning how to do it independently) since 1989, and it was after a JAWS
upgrade v10 from v9, on a Vista Machine and they clobbered the Security
Group... Microsoft said, reformat and reload, so pretty good for 20 years of
using MicroSquish stuff I think.
