Unexpected. Does this mean that Sony doesn't plan on giving Vegas very much HD support or real time support for fear it will compete against their high end software? Also, does this mean that the former SoFo staff they hired will be split onto other Sony related project not just Vegas, Acid, SF, etc?

I'm thinking this is similar to what we've heard before.
Vegas becomes compatible with XPri in the same way Avid DV Express is compatible with Media Composer.
EDL support perhaps?
It will be interesting to see if Vegas HD capacity is limited in some way (HDV only, perhaps?) to keep the market segments separate.

The question is this: Who developed the other (high-end) program? If it was developed in-house, then look out Vegas users. I have seen this happen before where a company acquires a program that competes in some way with one that already exists in the company. For instance, when Adobe purchased Aldus, Aldus had a photo editing program that competed with Photoshop (I think they called it Photostyler). That one got axed right away, and was sold back to its developer, Ulead (and is now sold as Photoimpact). Also, I had a good friend who developed a complete home theater control system. It was purchased by AMX, but they already had a similar system called Phast. My friend's system quickly got "absorbed," and was quietly dropped.
I could go on (as I usually do), but the proof will be to see what comes out in a few weeks. Certainly the people in the know seem to think it (Vegas 5) is a pretty good release. On the other hand, the "leaked" press release a month ago was, for me, a real downer -- nothing I was hoping for was mentioned. Of course, that press release could have been a fabrication, so I really shouldn't wasted time speculating on it.
Sonic Foundry has always done the right thing with Sound Forge and Vegas, and hopefully that will carry through to this Sony release.

Another good question: when are we going to hear info on Vegas 5? They announced what would be in SF 7, Acid 4 & Vegas 4 more then a couple weeks before release.
It would be nice if I should start saving up now (yeah, I gotta save to spend the couple hundred. Might get DVDA2 too... maybe). I don't want to miss the good upgrade prices.

Sony has the market covered. Movie Studio that it can bundled with its consumer camcorders to help the average Joe make enjoyable home videos and introduce them to quality NLE, Vegas for the upgrading average Joe, upper end consumer and average pro, and Xpri for the high end Pro. Very smart!

Based on what's been leaked already (and the fact that Spot is hopping up and down with excitement), I'll probably upgrade -- even if just for network rendering alone.
Sure would be nice to know the upgrade price, though, even if we don't get the full details until NAB. If it's in the $200 range, I can probably upgrade to a P4 800FSB. If it's much higher, I'll have to stand pat with what I've got.
