FreddieW explains Why We’re Switching From Macs « Rocket Jump.

I reached the same conclusion as FreddieW.

After more than a decade of working on Mac, from the PowerPC to the quad core Mac Pro desktop, I have mostly switched to a quad core Windows 7 machine.

The lack of real AVCHD support in FCP7, the FCP7 to FCP X mess, no 3D video support, the disappearing Firewire ports on new hardware, and Apple’s constant push to nearly force upgrades every 2 – 3 years – and the final blow with Mac OS X 10.8 being crippled so that it will not run on 3 of my Macs, Apple has dampened our enthusiasm.

My main reason to keep a contemporary Mac is for iOS development and to access legacy projects. Other than that, most of my work is now on Windows. Sony Vegas, Magix Movie Edit Pro, Adobe Premiere are all excellent video editors that run on Windows.
