[Avid-L2] Re: Adobe to announce CS5 on April 12

That's not surprising. Once a production company gets a working system for their needs why would they go to the trouble and expense to upgrade something that already works. When you bounce around you have to accommodate a variety of proven and not so proven work flows. So it makes sense that you would be more current. Besides doesn't being on the cutting edge appeal to our collective inner geekdom? Even if it does sometimes backfire on us.
