[Ricardo Marty]

These are the febuary numbers when they said that they would no longer provide details anymore.

Have they presented this for Q2?

Strangely, I miss those… 🙂

[Andrew Kimery] “I think the secrecy was tolerable when new hardware and software was released on a pretty reelable schedule. Pro users might not have known what new features were going to be in FCP or that Apple was dropping Moto for IBM (and later IBM for *gasp* Intel) but we knew that new things would roll out on a predictable basis.”

I agree Andrew. I also agree with Tim… I don’t think there’s an upside to this anymore. It wouldn’t hurt Apple to communicate a little better and more often about where FCP X is going.

I don’t need to know what they’re doing with Safari, because my business isn’t built around it. FCP X is a different story…

They actually let you know whats happening with Safari as they release regular “technology preview” versions!

I guess my sarcasm didn’t translate. Yes, I know they keep us updated on Safari, which was my point
