Re: What if there actually IS a new Mac Pro?

[Herb Sevush] "The idea that X is going to drive those sales, on the other hand, is too funny for words."

Do you really thing FCPX won't have a noteworthy portion of the market in 2 years when people are faced with upgrades assuming they want to take advantage of FCPX's state at that point. That you are so certain that FCPX user base will be insignificant underestimates Apple's FCPX development capabilities especially given the current speed of development. It may not "replace" legacy but the market itself is changing rapidly as is FCPX itself. That market, even if it's not as big as legacy's peak, may be a very big target for Apple. If it updates MacPros (or it's replacement) faster, it may well be more valuable to Apple.

I'm grossly oversimplifying for clarification but if FCPX only has 1/2 the market share of FCP legacy had but triples the rate of Mac upgrades then Apple is actually selling more computers even though there's a smaller market share.
