Re: Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please

[Herb Sevush] "OK, lets throw out "market leader" and replace it with the phrase "very successful""

What is successful? I will give you popular and dare I say ubiquitous. I'm sure it sold a lot of computers, but as a standalone software was it "successful"? We will never know.

The last time we personally gave money to Apple for FInal Cut Studio software was quite a while ago, again, that's my personal situation, not everyone's situation.

[Herb Sevush] "now I still stand by my original idea that it will be a long time before we see anything like the EOL of FCP."

It doesn't happen often. It's usually a big deal when it goes down. Apple is just the most recent so the wounds are fresh.

[Herb Sevush] "I'm not asking for "ultimate long term future plans" I'm just looking for a clue as to what they're doing over the next 6 months. I don't think that's too much to ask. Intel manages to do this, as does HP, as does Adobe."

OK. If Apple had released FCP8, would we feel any different or have they done you a favor?
