Another Appleite (or are they called Jobsonians?) has checked in. And they are pushing their own Final Cut because they have enough issues with Adobe and their CS5 (soon to be CS5.5). Here is part of the description: "Final Cut Pro 7 gives you more creative options and technical control" but with the subliminal message of "creative options and technical control that we tell you must have and nothing more!"
Well, Adobe is over the top with activation and bugs not fixed issues, especially with Photoshop Elements,
CS-5.5 products can now be purchased on a subscription basis, so it probably is time to jump ship. All this "cloud" BS is nice for the dull of wit, but now they're trying to force it on us. This would mean every time you crank up "Premier Pro", (or other CS program), Adobe would have their corporate nose up your private a**. (Actually they already do, with , FNP licensing service, and Adobe updater). (The only thing "Adobe Updater" tried to update recently was itself. I don't know about you, but I call that "Spyware")!
I'm standing pat at PSCS-4, PSE-7, (which is a slow flushing turd, at least when you have a very large photo collection), and good old serial number only activated PSE-5.
I don't share any of the addictions to either gaming, or to having the "latest and greatest" of anything, that so many here seem to "possess". So, Adobe is evil, our guest was right about that. But still, that hardly makes Apple a worthwhile alternative.
This is why the two companies are warring; they're both parasites, and it's like fleas and ticks fighting for control of the dog.
I still think this poll needed a "select all" button, to truly validate it.
