Official word from Roxio: Toast updater is coming

We've received the following note from Roxio that we wanted to pass along:

I am the PR manager at Roxio and wanted to follow-up on Monday?s posting titled ?Leopard: Incompatible third-party software and hardware (part 2).? Just wanted to let you know that over the last few months, Roxio?s Mac team has been testing our products with beta versions of Apple?s Leopard version of Mac OS X. We have identified some compatibility issues between Leopard and Toast 7 which we plan to release updaters to address. We hope to complete the final test and release the updaters to registered users early next week. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure our products run well on Apple?s exciting new Mac OS X release.

Update It appears, however, that this note from Roxio may have been misleadingly phrased. Reading it, you might be forgiven for thinking that Roxio is intending to help users who have Leopard incompatibility problems with Toast 7 by updating Toast 7. This does not seem to be the case. One reader reports getting this note from Roxio: "Although an update for Toast 7 will be released in the near future, it will not be fully compatible with Leopard and it will not be supported. We recommend you contact us to find out what your upgrade options are. There are a number of attractive pricing packages for our current product - Toast 8." This accords with our previous impression that only Toast 8 will ever be Leopard-compatible.
