I ran on the ipc release of OSX a few months back but then switched back to windows and am now using windows 7. I would like to go back to OSX, but when I ran it last time I had two primary problems.
1) I had a hard enough time getting my graphics card to work with all the quartz extreme features and run smoothly. When I finally got it working after a while (a month of use) it started to go all blue when any video was played or windows were moved around fast.
2) This is the main issue im worried about at the moment since all I have is a Sony 5.1 surond sound system that connects through a digital optical cable. I remember trying for a long time to get the digital optical audio to work but never succeeded.

Im planing on using the newest ideneb release this time around.
