Not to move the thread too much. But, last week, post CES, there was some rumor-mongering again that Apple might be positioning itself to buy Adobe. Might explain why we are perceiving Apple as dragging their feet in Aperture development. It would make more sense for them to use dev resources on consumer devices and do just enough to keep Aperture alive with the faintest of heartbeats until an Adobe crew would be able to really overhaul and/or merge.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=168324\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I heard that rumour elsewhere and can hardly think of anything worse and that's speaking as someone just about to buy a MacPro and maybe a Macbook Pro later in year. That's if they bring out a 13" version, that is usuable, rather than crippled, that is!
Apple bought Logic, a respected piece of audio software that had a 50% PC user base and they simply dropped support for the PC version to force people to buy Macs. Didn't go down very well. At all.
Never worked out why people think Apple are are cuddly friendly company, they are a typical huge multinational which can be very aggressive and bullying, worse than MS even. At least Gates spends his fortune helping combat poverty and disease.
