Defending Apple
There are a lot of folks on here defending Apple. The real question is why isn’t Apple defending itself? They could at least explain their decisions, and maybe even a glimpse at their road map for the future. Is that too much to ask all mighty Apple?

Even if Apple decided to deliver a formal response to all of this (which would be very unusual for Apple, but did happen with, for instance, the iPhone 4 antenna firestorm last year), it’s far too early; they’d need to take a week or two to figure out what they wanted to say.

They should have done that before they unleashed this beast on us.

How hard could it be?
We f%$#ed up. FCS3 is now back in the store. We will continue to develop and sell FCP X for those that like it.
That took me less than :30.

Who’s defending Apple? About 99% of the posts here are negative on this one.
Rightfully so, I might add.

Major corporations don’t work that way.

nicedissolve.com seems to be pretty red-centric, doesn’t the lack of native r3d support give you a little pause for defense?

This is going to be a great example of what a company should do versus what Apple will do.
I am a reformed political consultant and if Apple doesn’t get a handle on this it is going to be worse than the Weinerss wiener scandal.The Customer is always right.. because he/she pays your salary.
Apple should do the following.
1. Put Final Cut Pro Studio 3.0 back up for purchase.
2. Admit there is a problem.
3. Reaffirm that you will support Final Cut Pro 7and most off all be nice.
The people you are disrespecting are not your employees they are customers who want to give you money. They buy, iphones and ipads and they own lot and lots of Apple stock.
The next meeting of our user group is going to be interesting. I may have to get a metal detector.

For one thing, we saw it in action with Apple last year with the iPhone 4 antenna blowup.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “are you apple’s designated spokesman for this board? Because, well if you were, and no offense, but if you were, you could not work much any harder bud.”
I’m just someone who’s seen enough of these Apple-related Internet firestorms (see above for one example of many) to be really annoyed that some other folks apparently haven’t managed to develop any kind of sense of perspective with respect to this sort of thing. The apocalyptic rhetoric won’t amont to much. It never does.

One things is a telephone that looses signal strenght. The other thing is the livelyhood of thousands of people and companies who have invested into Apple and FCP and who are having a major problem right now with thousands and thousands of dollars transitioning cost looming at the horizon. You cannot even start comparing the two.
