I remember trying to use this in 2002. I'm sure it's a beautiful program, but the Macs were such unruly machinery I never got a true feel for what it could do. I.e., time = money. Equally so, I've wondered why they didn't/wouldn't cater to the PC market either.
I'm sure there's a valid reason (don't beat me up), I wasn't pining enough to scour the earth to find it. The reason that is.
Although, juxtaposing a $300 program against a $1000 one tends to leave a bit of a head scratcher too.

It's an Apple product and so they are trying to sell more hardware by making it only for Mac OS X.
Of course, I'd think it would be smart to make a PC version as the application is supposedly one of the best at its price segment. Not to mention video editing would be a lot quicker with a six-core i7-980.

I tend to aggressively agree. Frankly, I think it would be proficient on anything other than the Mac OS, seeing as hardware really isn't much of an issue anymore.
Most importantly I want to know if the package box is available in White ... not just black ....that is really important to me.
It look awfully like what Pinnacle, now Avid did 10 years ago ... on a PC platform ...Oh so now it does Bluray after all these years, well whoopey do, just like the iPhone going to 3G when everyone else had had it for years ...don't try to sucker me Jobs , I am brighter than you....
So this isn't really Final Cut Pro is it ? more like the precursor to the next inevitable version ...more like a not really Final Final Cut Pro.. possibly a better title...
A bit like the recently leaked iPhone 5... one day it will work and catch up with real phones but probably not in my lifetime...Steve Jobs needs the money ...keep em hooked d'em dere iSheep...
It all got better again all over again , and again ...
