Comment xbox (peecees) vs. macs... (Score 0) 301
the peecee users are the 'content consumers'. they will watch, be marketed to, and be controlled. (they have already proven they dont mind- see passport)
the mac users among us are the 'content CREATORS'.
where do you suppose the better jobs will be? with the creators, of course.
where do you suppose the better 'eXPerience' will be? on the platform that has been creating content for years.
iMovie is YEARS ahead of any peecee editing program, is free, and is the lead-in to more expensive (and mac-exclusive) programs like final cut pro. Can you do FCP things on peecees? sure- if you want to spend more than FCP ($999) for just a hardware encoding /firewire board, then add software, then struggle to integrate it, etc. the best solution on the market going forward into the 'digital video' era, is the mac, plain and simple.
You guys all just keep puttering along with windows/linux/lindows/etc. in a few years you will be where i was last year, because of the integration/ease/power of the macintosh.
good luck xbox suckers.
