Anyway you put it, it is never posititive that an OS vendor also makes
software. That goes for M$ too of course. Many companies refrain from
competetive developing on that particular platform of that spesific software
when they have to "beat" the actual OS developer. Quite understandable. And
this is never for the benefit of the end-user. That Apple drops Premiere for
Apple is and should be very disturbing for Mac people. M$ dropped IE for Mac
the very same day (almost) that Safari was released. Some of you might say
that Safari is better or that Final Cut is better than Premiere, but that is
obviously beyond the point. Somebody just lost their favourite software and
all of you lost the option to choose.
