Hi David,

Not sure I get your question.
If you partition your internal HD, you can have multiple OS installs. So you
can have one partition with one version of OSX plus Avid and another
partition with another version of OSX plus FCP. Each OS will have its own
Utilities folder (in Finder, hit CMD-U), as well as the default OS apps like
Preview. Any other apps you install, you will need to install on either one
or both partitions.

I have my MBP divided into three partitions. One with Leopard, one Snow
Leopard and one Vista.
