Should both installations be the same version?

I am one of the users running Mac OS 10.6.8 on the Mac side, and Windows 7 Pro SP1 32 bit via Bootcamp.

I understand that you've dropped support for OS 10.6.8 as of the current version - ah well, too bad...

My question: should I remain on version 1.2.1 on both operating systems (as I am now) or is it safe to run 1.3 under Windows, and 1.2.1 under the Mac OS provided the temperature and sensor settings are the same on both?

You can absolutely use the latest version on Windows, it's OK.

PS. Why wouldn't you upgrade OS X ?

Thanks.

My older machines run more efficiently on the earlier OS.

I'm concerned about the Backup Partition which Lion installs, screwing with my Bootcamp/Windows partition, as I don't have a lot of free space on my internal hard drive.

The version of ProTools, (v. Eight) which I use once in a blue moon, is incompatible with Lion.

It ain't broke.

OK.

PS. Backup partition can be easily removed, google for it.
