HD Magazine has an excellent article on the lack of a new MacPro.
It basically is how I feel. Many in the industry love Macs, but the MacPro is just not as fast as PC’s right now and there are great options from HP and Dell that just have the Speed advantage. Companies are waiting to see what Tim Cook was talking about, but we are not holding our breath, and if Apple does not release a new MacPro that really can compete with high end PC’s, people will start moving to PC’s for their computers, possibly with a Mac laptop for personal stuff.
It really is so sad, but the MacPro’s just don’t make enough as compared to Apple’s consumer products (even though they do make money), so Apple is abandoning the people who kept the company afloat all those years when Apple was doing so badly with everyone else.
The consumerizing of Final Cut Pro is further proof of their changing focus, and I don’t think that they realize the damage they will be doing to themselves in the long run as all professionals move away from Macs.
And that doesn’t even delve into the fact that Windows 8 is such a dud, after Windows 7 being such a good OS.
