But think of it this way.
If one of your customers say 5 years ago invested X.XX amount in FCP workstations and shared media hardware - what would that cost have been if they would have done the equivalent AVID install?
I know the AVID solution would have easily be twice as high if not more. The service licenses alone would have cost a fortune. Which is probably one of the main factors why you pushed the Apple solution and probably a large factor in your customers decisions. The Adobe solution is a more comparable price point but their upgrade pricing is a joke. You also would have had media sharing issues over multiple workstations with Premier because its not set up for that kind of environment.

Take pride in knowing that you sold them the best product (because AVID editing solutions truly suck at this point in time) at the best price point and that your installs are still a functioning entity and will be for a few more years. Those installations will not owe your customers anything when it comes time to upgrade.

Also know that some developer will step up to the plate with a solution a void with a complementary product that Apple doesn't offer. Such as networked storage and media solutions.

FCPX is 8 hours old at this point. Have a little patience.
