Well the animation and 3D graphics industry like the Mya crowd have been PC fanboys for a while now…

I liked new coke but not the same feelings for FCX.

[Chris Kenny] “And you can also see that it never will?”
That’s irrelevant to his post which you must not understand. It is June – his classes begin in August that is two months from now. If apple adds all that stuff to FCX today he would still only have two months to fully re-integrate his school’s studios (and probably has to put it out through a two-envelope bid process, etc). He can’t teach a class in August on something THAT DOES NOT EXIST YET. He can’t say “OK kids today we are going to learn how to use a program Apple might maybe come out with in two years.”
Teaching FCS3/FCP 7 is not an option because his students can not buy it for use on their own, and it is 4 years out of date compared to Avid/Premiere.

Apple killed FC Server last week along with FCS 3.

Apple already Ubilified Logic last year with the “Built For Musicians not Engineers” campaign. That was a slap in the face to all recording engineers because most of them are incredibly proficient musicians but also a statement that this software is no longer for pros.
It is a great program for composing in MIDI. That’s it. Audio editing is like pulling your own tooth out with some loose pliers.

Are you implying AVID is destructive editing?

[Chris Kenny] ” people believing Apple is deliberately abandoning the pro market, and it is my opinion that Apple is not actually doing this”
Hmmmm I think you have it backwards. The pro market does not constitute much of apple’s sales, and neither does their desktops. The announcement of their cloud computing service along with the downgrading of FCP signals their move towards lean client computing…
I see the mac pro being the next thing on the chopping block.

Both Avid and Adobe will offer your students great prices on their software, and they are both enterprise-friendly.

Most schools have shared edit bays which require multiple user logins as well as SAN storage. That basically rules iMovie X out. oh, sorry FCP X.

It would have been easier to just incorporate it in to the program when they were writing it.
