Mac Pro refresh at WWDC?

[Alan Okey]

Sorry, it’s not gonna happen. Embrace your new iMac high endoverlords, or switch to Windows. The era of Apple’s participation in anything beyond the consumer-level hardware market is OVER.

And for all you Mac/OS X diehards, read it and weep:

I pray that Autodesk will see the light and port Smoke to Windows…

I’m really going to enjoy it when the new MacPros are launched next week, so many people to point and laugh at 🙂

Seems like a petty thing to want to do. And if you are wrong, should others point and laugh at you?

Frankly who cares what Apple announces or not. We have so much choice in hardware, OS, software at the moment that frankly only Mac aficionados seem to care. I remain carefree and platform agnostic.

I really hope you’re right, I really do. Eating crow would be such a minimal price to pay!

I’d LOVE to be wrong…I really would.

Two groups: people committed to Apple software, and people with an irrational fear of Windows.

And what Apple software is so important that a cross platform alternative is unavailable? As far as I can see there might be a fear that Smoke won’t end up with a Win version eventually but otherwise?

Have any of those afraid of Windows had any recent experience with Win 7 64 bit?

So many questions….

I’m drooling over that ProMax machine, and will be migrating BACK to Window’s once I’ve used up my current MacPro. The only reason I went Mac in the first place was to have a seat of FC7 in case somebody walked in the door and needed it, which only happened once in the past 4 years. Media Composer runs better on Windows anyway.
