Video pros are catching FireWire fever. via MacWeek >"It gave me the opportunity to start fresh with digital video," said Truly, now vice president of Take 2 Services, a video production company in Riverside, Calif., that specializes in 30-second spots. Truly purchased a $16,000 digital video bundle from ProMax. It included a 233-MHz Power Mac 9600 with 96 Mbytes of RAM; a Sony VX-1000 digital camcorder; a Sony DSR-30 recording deck; Adobe Premiere; and FireMax, which is ProMax's card, cable and software combo designed around FireWire. Now Truly digitally captures, manipulates and stores all his video on inexpensive digital video cassettes. "It's all digital until I'm ready to transfer to three-quarter-inch analog tape for broadcast," he said. With his new system, Truly said he enjoys benefits he once found difficult or impossible to get: real-time previews of footage, no degradation from generation to generation, and the help of dozens of QuickTime-compliant video editing and image-processing software programs. "There's not anything on the market that can touch it," Truly said. "FireWire is definitely the wave of the future."< zdnet.com

>How about Microsoft decides to break up into a Windows company and a Applications company.< NT/Win95 are to MSFT like hair is to Samson. MSFT doesn't make much money from OS sales, it leverages its OS market share to drive ancilliary technologies. That's exactly what the DOJ are climbing all over their butts for. If such a split happens it wont be because MSFT wants to. soup
