Updating to Toast 7 from Toast 6

[smcrea]

I currently have Toast 6 and am happy with it.

 

I do intend to upgrade my OS to OSx 10.5 in the Spring.

 

I have noticed through my experience with Popcorn that Roxio will all of a sudden stop supporting a particular version of Software as was the case with Popcorn 1 when OSx went to 10.4.8.

 

Now to my question. Roxio are selling Toast 7 for $50. Obviously they are getting ready to launch Toast 8. I am wondering if it's worth while getting this toast 7 for $50 as I'm scared that when we move to OSx 10.5 and we are on Toast 8 then they will stop supporting my Toast 6.

 

Is this a reasonable assumption and is it a good deal?

 

Or should I just wait for Toast 8 and pay the $100 ?

 

I'm not sure how many bells and whistles that I really need!. I would actually be quite happy staying at Toast6 as long as Roxio supported it!

 

I'd really like to see some opinions on if I should buy or not?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Popcorn 1 works with 10.4.8. It just doesn't work natively with Intel Macs. If Roxio is working on a new version of Toast they aren't going to tell anyone. You may be waiting the rest of your life for a Toast 8 as far as I know. I'm a big fan of Toast 7 so I say don't delay your enjoyment. But if you don't need the many things it offers over Toast 6 (such as much-improved video DVD encoding) then stick with what you've got until you need something better.
