I'm sorry... MS? Hi, I edit video for a living and I was wondering... How the hell is the creative industry supposed to work under this environment on a Windows based platform?
One of your biggest companies you work with, Adobe, makes MOST of the creative software in use on the PC today.
Avid, the other big one, yeah, how are they going to react to this? Avid's that big company that switched from mac majority to you because Apple treated Avid like crap. Go on, treat 'em like crap.
I don't know about any of you, but the cost of a single high end video editing computer runs well over $20K. I don't see how they think shutting out media is going to make vendors who make that much in profits happy. Sure, MS can sell 300 boxes to equal one editing suite, but that editing suite (editor) is supposed to provide media content to 5000 or more. And you're going to restrict how he does his job?
WAIT! I just remembered. Most hollywood studios use LINUX to create the content you want to contol... Okay, never mind... That only means the small guys like me are affected...
