Based on Avid's track record, you are probably not going to see W8
support for about 6 months after the official retail release.
I am just hoping that MC 6 is much better threaded, 64 bit and a lot of
performance tweaks (AMA, waveform redraw, continuous play mode, etc.).
Windows 7 has been MS best OS to date IMHO.
And not really excited to have GUI similar to their mobile OS :/
