Apple Announces the Fate of Shake

Rura Penthe writes "NothingReal, developer of Shake (a high-end video compositing application), was purchased by Apple in February. Until now the fate of Shake on Windows, Irix, and Linux was uncertain at best, but in an email sent out to Shake users, Apple has declared that Irix and Linux versions will be developed at least through 2003. However, the upcoming Windows version will be the last for that platform. Good news for Shake users with Linux render farms like Weta Digital, which used Shake for Lord of the Rings."

Yeah, we're just awful people for holding a monopoly up to different standards than we hold any other business to. My guilt is killing me.

Was my response lame? So was your troll.

Apple announced the fate of Shake, but declined to comment on the fate of Rattle and Roll.

(yes I know you can plug a three button mouse into a MAC, try using right click to bring up context sensitive menus.)

OK tried it... Works fine... your point?
