First thing I should say - I feel very sorry for Windows users. However, as a long term apple and emagic customer I too am very concerned. Do all emagic employees walk off into the sunset with fat pay-cheques leaving nothing to apple but the software as it stands currently? Apple now has the opportunity to use the software to drive hardware sales. Do we suddenly find that the "minimum" system is a dual 1ghz G4 with OSX? Not that I'd mind one of these systems - I simply can't afford one right now. Not happy.
