I don't think anything is brewing. This phenomenon with companies and trade shows happens all the time. Look at video games and E3... and then look what happened to E3. whatever. I'm really looking forward to the next releases from the team. I personally know guys on the pro-apps team… I don’t think anything is brewing.

My opinion of course...we may all be shocked at what the Turtle-neck'd One announces (or doesn't announce). -Matt Jeppsen I agree that they tend to have a pro-Apple slant, but bear in mind that the writer at Roughly Drafted has a history of well-researched and informative articles that lend validity to his points here.

Sure it's the pro apps that sell the pro Macs, which are more expensive... but how much more profit does Apple make on them?

I already said as much three days beforehand: "When you read articles about feature film editors and special effects studios using Apple’s tools, it’s never with a $599 Mac Mini. No. It’s with a big-ass, tricked out system, or several of them:" http://techthoughts.org/2008/02/09/no-apple-or-avid-at-nab-08 Not only does FCS sell more Macs, it sells more of the _expensive_ Macs.

It's way too important to their digital media strategy. iTunes, even, is a way of keeping Quicktime on computers. Final Cut Studio probably sells more macs than anything other software.
