Re: [Avid-L2] New pb / el capitan

To be fair, Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8) was superseded by Mavericks (10.9) in 2013. I don't think it's outrageous that a 2015 software developer should have to support a three-years-old OS for their newest version. Yes, the Adobe CC 2015 update caught many by surprise when it was announced that 10.8 OS would not be supported, however, most of us took the news as 'realistic' and 'fair'.

Not to mention that Adobe will start only working on El Cap if things go like they have so if you want to be able to open up a Premiere or AE project you'll have to be on El Cap just like I recently had to create a 10.9 startup drive to access CC 2015 thereby screwing up any chance of unity connection manager working for our legacy medianet 5's. It's not just planned obsolescence it's a completely unworkable land of force migrations creating forced incompatibilities. It's starting to make me want to go back to the PC symphony although that landscape seems to be changing all the time these days too.

I'd appreciate hearing if my feeling of the PC side of software being better in this regard. My gut says this is true but I've been so mac centric at work my PC chops aren't particularly current.
