Ableton 8.1.1 crashing 100% of the time osx

I've been have stability problems with 8.1.x as well. Usually when dragging an AU onto an audio channel while playback is still going.

So I've just been working in Logic till they fix it.

The new beta seems to be good so far... However, loading AU units can be extremely slow and sometimes the spinning wheel goes on for a bit. lol.

as I wrote already before in this thread...
I'm on 8.0.4 and os x 10.5.8 and have only had Ableton crash 1 time, which was about 2 weeks ago.

whats the point of upgrading operating systems? we all know the audio industry moves much slower than apple or microsoft. im not on a mac but everyone I know on pc is still using XP for making music. why fix something that isn't broken other than a superficial desire to stay "current"

in other words, roll back the OS to something that is known to work and just stick with it

the good side of 10.6 (snow leopard) is that it's slimmed for all the old code that was working for the pre-intel processors. So it should be slimmed, optimized, smaller (size) plus bug fixes and such.
I'm haven't upgraded so far, but it's in my plans to do so.

8.0.x and Leopard was very stable for me. I think I notice this issue ever since M4L.
