gucci: interestingly enough (as I type this out on the Silver mac), alot of the post production houses here are moving to PC based Avids because the cost of hardware is so much cheaper. They can almost do a 2 for 1 and double their rental income because they use the less expensive hardware.
So far none of the editors I know have griped about them not being Apple. Irony is that we have a full edit facility in house which is almost always booked and does use Apple based hardware. The post production facilities we are allowed to use for shows are also fully booked.
Truly more than anything it speaks to the need for NLE systems Mac or PC, there is a huge demand.
