I also work on both platforms and have for years. But I’d like to consolidate – I was hoping for a new MacPro or even a new Ivy-Bridge iMac – but nothing. I really like FCPX and testing Smoke now, but do I really need a Mac at all anymore?
With CS6 and Sony Vegas I really have all I need to complete my work. The new Dark Energy plug-in for AE will be Windows only and that’s a big deal for me. ASUS just announced a Thunderbolt PCIe card avail next month for Ivy Bridge mobos. I know I can drive to Frys and in a couple of hours from now have a new 6 core Ivy Biridge beast with every part inside being up-to-the-minute technology and do it for half the price of a “new” 2 year old, over-priced boat anchor.
Decisions to be made…
