When the only tool you use is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.

Oh well, that's how it goes.
What's truly funny, is about two weeks ago my company purchased two DVD SP 1.5 liscenses, and now they announce DVD SP 2 for half the price. Go figure. Hopefully the upgrades will be cheap, considering the price drop.
As far as Shake goes, I'm really interested in Apple's use of the distributed renderer. Apple's use of Rendezvous and the recent release of the Xserve cluster looks to me like they are trying to make super computers for the masses. If the Shake Qmaster is any indication of how Rendezvous implementation works for OS X, imagine if you will what that would do for other programs like Maya. Now imagine that same thing for all OS's. Cool. Rendezvous is open source, so it's quite possible. But I will agree it's not probable. Sad.
As far as FCP 4, pretty spiffy. So was FCP 3. I don't need it, we use Media 100 at work, but I can see advantages working with it. Especially with DVD SP 2 implementation. Apple definitely has something going as far as ease of use. DVD SP 1.5 took me all of one day to figure out everything. I can't imagine how much easier it can get.
