  1. Also avaible for windows.... by quandrum · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I just noticed this is also available to windows users of Premiere. Might be enough to switch to a 2x2 G5 and FCP.... (okay, I just really want a G5.. mmm)

    This will be great for Apple now, but pissing off Adobe even more is going to do what? Push them away! How pissed off do you want Adobe to be when they make very popular pro-level applications(photoshop comes to mind)? How many ways does Apple have to undercut third-party developers because they think they can home grow a better product?

    In a niche market like Apple, where pro-level applications keep you in the game and bring credibility to your platform, you can only piss off and drive away so many developers.
