Final Vegas Pro! :)

Extream Edition! :):)

So the next release will be iVegas?

Since OSX is based on Unix, is it possible VV gets ported to Linux?

I heard that today from a friend off of macrumors.com
It seems wierd though since they are the number one competitors in a few areas.

FWIW, Sony built all of the Apple laptops in the past, and I think they also built some of Apple's desktops in the past too.
Great rumor, but keep in mind, Sony has LOTS of divisions. So, if Sony ended up with Apple, you can probably bet that FCP wouldn't go away. Why kill a profitable thing when you've got it?

If Sony did buy apple, FCP would go into the Media Software division, wouldn't it? If it did happen, I could see Vegas become the "pro-sumer" video editor while FCP becomes their "pro" editor. That would stink in my opinion. But, then Sony would have a major editor on the PC & Mac market.

It would be nice if they ported it to Linux/Unix, but then we would probley loose all the nice directX plugins.
I would give those up to use on a more stable and secure system though. :)

I once bought a hotel because the owners were selling on a weekly rental basis. The owners I represented sold rooms on a daily basis. At that time you could rent a room for a week for $600 or rent a room by the day for $150 in my area.

I believe the same principal applies to Apple. The weekly rate is hardware/software, the daily rate is software that works with PC's.

Think about it. 10% of the people just plain old hates Billy Gates, 20% of the people are too cheap to buy Mac hardware, but would fork out the same as Windows for the Mac OS, and another 10% would buy both and see what happens. 40% of the worldwide software OS is worth more than Apple computer by far.

Sony buying Apple? That is a hard one and I would doubt it unless Sony is ready to take on Microsoft. Sony sells 10-15% of all PC computers right? Ole Billy wouldn't hesitate to cut Sony off of Windows OS, should they buy Apple.

A court fight of an American company vs. a Japanese company...

Somehow this rumor does not seem right to me, but who knows?

This rumor makes the rounds at least once a year.

Ain't gonna happen.

It's amazing how things get distorted.

Apparently one of the Sony executives was thinking of slipping out the other day to buy an apple for lunch .....

Pete . .in actually fact I heard it was a banana . . .OR was that a new hat .. a Bandanha . . OR was it that he said that he went to his local Pub where his girlfriend had drunk too much and that the owners had "Band Anna" ! . . Amazing how things get distorted . . . .
