Re: DaVinci Resolve 8.1 -- now with FCPXML roundtrip support

[Herb Sevush] "If you woke up one day and Apple decided to EOL Mac OSX in favor of Windows, my guess is you'd have a lot more to say about the subject of "ls" vs "dir"."

We are now delving in to the hypothetical, but things do change. I would have a choice to make and it looks like there are some really decent options out there, lucky for me. I have to feed my dog somehow. Lamenting on what could have been doesn't seem to stop his belly from burning.

[Herb Sevush] "ON the other hand, using Windows as a platform for a NLE is a lot less daunting then you make it. You don't need to open the command line prompt to open PPro on a windows box. You just have to hold your hat on to keep it from being blown away by the unfamiliar speed."

Your choice. Right now, it's not going to be my choice. I'm comfortable with that. I do have and use Windows on both the server and parallels across three machines, one of those is bootcamped, but it's on my co-workers machine. It's not where I want to go at this point, I've checked it out and made a decision. I'm not complaining to Microsoft, it just not where I want to be at this point, and they could probably care less. My choice.

Oh, and sometimes I do need to use the command prompt, but that's my workflow. Maybe not yours. We also have a Linux machine with our LTO system. We are basically running every modern OS in our tiny little shop. I think we are open to possibilities and different methods of working.
