    I am quite contentedly running PD6 under Snow Leopard. And I do not plan on upgrading to Lion any time soon (I need to run a Rosetta based program).

    My question is this: is PD7 a worthwhile upgrade if you aren't moving to Lion? What new features? What improvements?

    I am reluctant to tinker with a setup that is working well.

    There are some interesting features not related to Lion:

    *Direct access to OSX printers on Windows
    *iSight and FaceTime HD cameras accessible on Windows
    *Virtual disk encryption
    *Up to 1GB video memory can be assigned to a virtual machine
    *Support for high-quality audio formats (up to 192KHz)
    *Faster boot
    *Faster performance overall
    *Surround Sound 7.1
    *Cosmetic and interaction tweaks

    Basically what PD7 offers on Lion that doesn't offer on SL is:
    *Integrating with new Lion specific features like Mission Control and Launchpad for Windows apps.
    *Lion as a guest OS

    It's just that.
