great news for the people who didint want to blow all their money on mac hardware! Now all they need to do is lower their rediculious sw prices and wed be in business.
There have been a lot of off the wall reactions in here but I think this one takes the cake. How in the world can you say Apple's SW is over priced?

Logic Pro 7 - 999
Reason 2.5 369 (I dont mention fruity loops because its awful)
I cant comment on other software because its the only one ive used. Reason 2.5 is the standard. Apple is overpriced in the software dept. Im sure there are others who know more about this than I do.
I'm not familar w/audio apps really so I can't comment on those, but...
iLife - $79 (you'd be hard pressed to find a comparable group of apps at that price)
FCP HD (FCP, Live Type, Cinema Tools, Soundtrack) - $999
- FCP alone used to cost $999, Cinema Tools used to cost $999, Soundtrack used to be sold seperately for $199, and Live Type, before it was bought by Apple, used to sell for several hundred dollars.
DVD SP 3 - $499 (very good DVD authoring software)
Motion - $299 (very good motion GFX software)
Production Bundle (FCP HD, DVD SP 3, Motion) - $1299
Shake - $2,999 for OS X version (much cheaper than before Apple purcahsed it, plus free, unlimited number of render-only versions)
At least in the video world Apple's low prices for high quality software has caused the entire industry to lower prices and offer more bang for the buck.
