| A big blow to the PC community: Nothing Real to discontinue Shake support for Windows Ahahahahahaha. This is just one of those times I want to point my finger and stick out my tongue to the PC community as a whole: Quote:
 That is, if they're not already smart enough to use them already...Heehee... Apple sure is cornering the high-end video editing market.

| Haha. For video editing, we have Final Cut Pro. For 3D rendering, now we have Shake. But, would those Windows geeks switch to Maya?

| I don't think Apple was interested in those existing customers, but the technology. Apple doesn't own any 3D software but they don't have to rewrite a application from the ground up. They have 2D graphic designers, film directors, school teachers/students, home users... in the future, will have 3D graphic designers.

| Smacks of M$ tactics if you ask me. I doubt the move is financially justified on the basis of maximising profits from shake, so it must be to further the mac platform. If MicroSloth did this We'd all be screaming our heads off about anticompetitiveness. Having said that, HA HA! eat that windows scum! Bernie :o)

| bighairydog, things like this are allowed as long as you aren't an illegal monopoly. So I'm not shaking my head. I think this could be for a financial. They might loose intial money from not selling shake on windows, but they could gain from it by making a great technology for OS X and selling possibly more macs and using it to create new good 3D technologies in the future. |

| Don't get me wrong 'plex, my morals only stretch to mild cynicism at the motives behind this decision, not as far as disagreeing with the move. Any inconveniance to windows users is one step further towards people realising that they can change platforms, so I'm all for it really. This should help with the comments I get from graphical friends who use Windose, constantly citing the professional programms that don't come on the Mac. Now I have ammunition to fire back with. Bernie :o)
