Aside for the "aw shucks" remark . . .
. . . Is there any factual evidence this is true? Also, how would Avid explain that to (FCP) users with 3rd party hardware like Kona3 cards . . . that just spent $999 per seat to upgrade (cross-grade) into Media Composer . . . while keeping a proverbial straight face?
Avid must realize folks who already own Adobe CS 5.0/5.5 Production Premium may simply download and install update drivers for their third-party (AJA Kona 3) hardware and move in the Adobe direction.
Granted, CS 5.0/5.5 may not be Media Composer 5.0/5.5/6.0, yet it's 64-bit and has many compelling features. If the user already owns that product they have less reason to spend *more* money to keep up(grading) with Avid.
Why charge a cross-grading user twice? I see a big risk to Avid in making such users pay twice to get their existing 3rd-party hardware up-to-speed.
I'm curious to hear other users opinions.
