the beginning of a new generation of post houses and Professionals…
Indeed, but maybe not the way you think. Walter Biscardi has a new blog entitled, “For now, editing is now a commodity and less a craft.” The gist of the blog is that there is a new wave coming… where large investments in hardware is going to be the doom of many post-production houses. There will be a culling of “professional” video editors and companies that spend a lot of money on editing and what will be left will be “storytellers” who do not necessarily work on high end systems.
So you have a company that just spent a great sum of money on hardware that runs the exact same software, at a time when its a very poor choice to invest in hardware at all.

Apple has stated that the job is not finished. They are still working on it.

Apple never supported the offical HD DVD spec. DVD SP created DVDs that had HD content, that would only play on Macs. They would not play on Toshiba’s HD DVD players. Toshiba changed the programming on their HD DVD players so they could play these Mac only discs.

After Effects was not invented by Adobe. It was invented by CoSA.

FCPX allows you to create DVDs with simple (or no) menus. Nothing of DVD SP is in FCPX. DVD SP does still work, even in Lion, although Apple has not touched it in 6+ years.

It should be pointed out that Adobe and Avid both EOL their editing programs on the Mac. If you wanted to keep up the the latest version of their software you had to completely replace your hardware. If someone handed you a Premiere project in the current version, you couldn’t open it on a Mac.
Avid quickly reversed their position, but it was many, many years before Adobe again released Premiere on the Mac.
