I’m not sure we were at the same show.

If your are attacked on this forum it is usually because you are asking the right question.

But if you want to log on to a company computer you’re not logging on to a Mac. Perhaps it’s different in the UK, but not here in Freedom’s Land. MS rules in big companies. Period.

Not impinging on Microsoft’s stranglehold – even the tiniest bit – on IT departments globally.

Are you kidding me? Your citation is that you see a sh*t ton of ipads out there and you are taxing me about my sources? It is well known that Apple has never made inroads in Enterprise. They don’t want too. They do pretty well without it. But are you seriously telling me that Apple does have Enterprise penetration? Everyone knows that they do not. My sources are the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, PC Magazine and a hundred others. What are your sources that tell me they do. Oh wait – you don’t have any, do you?

I pads are a convenient ancillary tool that some business people use and are inexpensive enough that even if the employer has purchased them for employees they relatively inexpensive and are easily replaceable. But when was the last time you walked into a Fortune 500 company and saw a whole bunch of Mac’s computers lined up? My guess is never.
Apple has very little penetration in the enterprise market. I know this for a fact. They has about 8% of global enterprise spending on computers and hand held devices, the vast majority of that being devices.

All of the business world that is wary of forced upgrades, sudden EOL’s and a general problem with Apple’s not giving a damn about any consequence the same might cause. So, pretty much all of the business world.

You have had a good experience running FCP 7 in Yosemite? All I’ve heard are horror stories. And Apple does have a monumentally bad reputation in the business world. There simply is no question about that.

I went to a demo at NAB today and I could easily see FCPX becoming very popular with ad agencies and even in the TV promo world. The big question is, as it always is in a business environment, will Apple all of the sudden decide to bail?

Well, for my part navigation being so dependent on track patching is a problem for me. I feel it slows me down quite a bit. Smarter folk than I probably understand why it is designed this way but I’ve yet to figure it out. Also I would love it if, when you navigate to a cut, the cut point was highlighted so you could clearly see it. And finally the markers need to be “smart markers” that stay put with respect to the source clip no matter where or how many times it is moved or otherwise altered in the timeline. Not having the markers that do this severely limits their usefulness.
