This Changes Too Many Things

Apple's brand new Final Cut Pro is treading on more than a few professional toes. Just ask Conan O'Brien. And if you think people love to call David Pogue an Apple fanboy, just see what happens when he supports this new software.

My take: lack of backward compatibility is a serious drawback. Upgrade to 64 bit is a huge plus. The rest of those missing features will come, but it will take time. And in that time, Apple will lose a lot of professional users. But they'll make it back, and then some, in regular consumers.

Will they ever get the pros back? No idea. Does Apple care? Likely not.
