Line6 Leopard support
Line6, developers of popular guitar modeling software for Mac OS X, has stated in a forum post that the company has decided not to support Leopard at this time. In response to a reader who wrote: "I currently own an M-Audio Ozone USB midi keyboard and audio interface. Was a great unit until I upgraded to Leopard. M-Audio does not have drivers available yet. Is the KB37 working on Leopard? I'm contemplating either trying the KB37 or downgrading my system back to Tiger. Any insight or advice?," a technical support representative responded: "We do offer drivers and Gearbox for Leopard on our website for download as Public Beta. So far everything has worked fine with our test machines here however, we have decided not to officially support Leopard at this time."
Apparently though most of the drivers and other software should work properly with Mac OS X, the company has decided not to offer technical support assistance for Mac OS X 10.5. Line6's GearBox is a graphical guitar tone interface and sound engine for the TonePort UX-1, UX-2, KB37, and GuitarPort.

No News here
No support for beta software. Where's the news? The headline implies that the company has dropped the Mac Platform. They've got beta software which isn't supported because it's beta. This tells me that they are committed to the platform and working hard to deliver a new product.
This kind of BS that comes out of MacNN is just getting ridiculous. If their intent isn't to mislead then they should learn the language. But I'm not at all convinced that this is the case.
