Existing users, 
Roxio appears to be using the upgrade to Leopard as an excuse to play the old "break the app so we can charge for the upgrade" game. Toast will no longer load for me. It just bounces in the dock and crashes right out. Word on the Roxio forums is that I now MUST "upgrade" to Toast 8 in order to get any functionality back at all, and even 8 is flakey and unreliable now. No doubt Toast 9 is due out soon.
Shame on you Roxio. Toast used to be one of my most important applications. But now I'm looking for a replacement. I can't recall Adaptec pulling this stunt when they owned Toast.

Broken in Leopard, shame on Roxio - Jefferis Peterson
I think your condemnation is a bit unfair. No developer can anticipate all the changes that might be required in a major OS upgrade. Just look at how many apps are broken in Vista, and it takes resources to redevelop a product for such an upgrade. Only top tier developers get prior access to all the hooks in the new OS before release, but even Adobe is suffering with some of its apps not being fully compatible. For a smaller player, can you really expect them to absorb all the costs associated with re-development as well as a monopoly like Adobe? Even Microsoft is not going to try to make Office 2004 compatible, but will release a new version...Friday, November 02 2007 @ 07:25 AM PDT
