Re: Article: What a Long, Strange Year It's Been!

Terrific article as always Walter! We're in the exact same dilemma - having invested huge in OSX, FCP, Mac Pros, and XSAN over the past 10 years. A year ago we moved our 3D department off of windows and now we're in the situation of evaluating if we need to move the whole studio off of Mac if the Pro line fades away. Definitely crazy times.

I love OSX as an operating system for the same reasons you mention in there article. Would you see Apple under any circumstances make their OS available to the masses and hardware independent? With the Mac Pro line inevitably dying my dream would be all of our artists and editors on HP workstations with AJA cards running OSX. Wouldn't that be nice??
