I was going to put Win 7 on my Macbook Air, but for $100+, I simply decided not to waste the money. True, Mavericks was a free upgrade but not without some disappointments. It will not run some popular programs that previous versions of the Apple OSX ran. An example is Pro-Tools 9. I had a brand new, unopened box with Pro-Tools that I was looking forward to installing in the iMac once I became familiar with it. Pro-Tools is a professional grade audio recording software package. Pro-Tools isn't cheap. The current version is $699. I decided to install my copy only to find out that Mavericks (which I upgraded to a month ago) won't run it. My options are to revert back to the older, 10.8.5 OSX (whatever they called it) or go out and purchase the newer version. I'll stick with the full Garage Band for now. That all said though, I like the iMac. Nice display and is faster for some of the things I like to do with audio and video. For many purposes though I still think it's an overgrown, high priced iPhone. :-) There isn't one windoze app I used to use that I haven't found a better replacement for on my macs. Even the Mac version of ms office suite runs better. The photo apps are better. The big database manager I use is better. I am sure there are better windoze apps out there but I don't use them. P.s. My new Mac is "preparing for shipment" but from where I don't know. Could be china, the USA, or Ireland . USA assembly...from apple facility in California . |
