Nice Job, Microsoft!

With the news going around about Microsoft's involvement in the BayStar-SCO financing deal, it appears that we're starting to see some repercussions.

From Don, over at the Misanthropyst...

I've been a Microsoft user and general supporter, an Access Database programmer and evangelist, and a Visual Basic programmer for years. My personal experience goes back to DOS 5 and Windows for Workgroups 3.1. I mostly use Linux for my server and desktop needs these days, but I've kept an up-to-date Windows XP box on my home network, mostly for database work and for video editing.

Well, tomorrow I am going to go look at an Apple. If the open source community could help me with the video editing, I wouldn't even bother with that. But my goal is to banish Redmond from my life forever...

Don's story was picked up by Robert Scoble, and the comment thread quickly devolved downward.

Don will never look back. Realistically the Mac is the best video editing platfor out there.

A year from now he'll wonder why he waited so long. They all do.
