    [Dennis Radeke] “Jules, we’ve put a lot of energy into making FCP editors happy but at the same time not stray from our own vision of what makes the best NLE ever”

    Good, bowing to all the demands from disenfranchised FCP editors shouldn’t distract the Company too much from where it’s going.

    [Dennis Radeke] “In the end, some people will not like our latest version because of something we didn’t do (like FCP7) that is critical to them”

    Nothing you could ever produce would stop Editors from moaning about something!

    I like this preview of what Google Glass might look like once you factor in Google’s revenue model:

    I suspect Google’s idea may go the way of 3DTV.

    I like this version that factors in how an augmented “reality” might work.

    Warning, contains adult language and themes.

    Just think about this…
    Final Cut Pro X is the second grossing App so doesn’t this make it Apple flagship?
    If it does or not… just keep that in mind, well Final Cut Pro X has SAN build right in it. Is there any over App that has this?
    Why have this if there is not going to be any hardware from Apple that will not bring a SAN (Fiber) option with it?
    We know that there is SANLink from PROMISE, but, this is not Apple.

    I would say we are going to have two option a Mac Pro or something in the direction of a iMac Pro.
    Which would say they are not going to drop the Pro line… as mention if they did it would have happened already with the Mac Pro and same with the Macbook Pro.

    [Thomas Frank] “iMac Pro.

    iMac Pro, what would that look like? Is there any way they could squeeze 8 cores into an iMac form factor?

    8 cores and a fast graphics card is all I would need.

    If, there is going to a iMac Pro I would think it will a bit different. But again I don’t think we will this Apple won’t take Monitor option away.

    [Andrew Richards] “The point I was struggling to make, which I still hold true, is that I dislike the architecture of Windows. It may be a totally subjective opinion at this point, since as you noted Win7 is at least as solid as OS X when assembled by a learned hand. But UNIX feels like a first language to me while Windows is more like a foreign tongue”

    That’s fair. I’m geeky enough to remember when Apple switched the default shell in Mac OS X from tcsh to bash. I do understand where you’re coming from, and I think that “Windows is not UNIX” is a perfectly valid reason for someone who needs UNIX not to like Windows.

    However, most of us here don’t need UNIX. We need things like stability, performance, and security. For a long time, UNIX had them and Windows didn’t, but I’m arguing that’s no longer true.

    My main point is this: Creatives can do their work on the Windows platform.

    If you think you need to work on a Mac because you’re a creative, or if you think you can’t work on a PC because you’re not a Microsoft IT nerd, you might have an outdated view of the Windows platform.

    There are good reasons to pick one platform over another, but I’d hate to see people here artificially constraining their choices because they’re buying into stereotypes about Macs and PCs.

    [Walter Soyka] “There are good reasons to pick one platform over another, but I’d hate to see people here artificially constraining their choices because they’re buying into stereotypes about Macs and PCs.”

    Have any Windows users had to do disaster recovery (like a bonked OS or something similar) on Windows yet?

    How about if your desktop dies and your laptop is functioning, can you boot your desktop via your laptop?

    How is Windows cloning, these days? From what I can gather, if you don’t have the exact right drivers, it’s a pain in the a$$ (unlike mac where you can boot almost any Mac from any other Mac)

    I like MacOS. I find it easier to use (I also have Windows). I don’t need to tinker with the OS too much, but when I do, I find Linux easier.

    The Bootcamp install of Windows 7 was one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever had to do. Bootcamp was great, Windows was terrible.

    As someone who has to “maintain” 5 working edit systems, I find MacOS to be a much more pleasurable experience.

    I know, perhaps I am a weenie, but I do not think it’s as easy as “insert DVD and install”. Where the rubber meets the road is disaster recovery. Things work great right up unit they don’t. I’d love to hear real world Windows disaster stories if anyone has them.
