Yes indeed, sorry if I wasn't clear in my sarcasm, those are the exact reasons why it -didn't- really-really need to buy (and kill) shake.

They bought it, made it for Mac (and Linux) only, made a version or two, and then ditched it.

Not unlike Soft which also wasn't really-really needed by a company with already 2+ DCC's.
(could have bought Naiad to make an ICE clone without sacrificing Soft,
  it wouldn't have had more or less chances of becomeing a good clone)

But I don't understand ditching (compared to other ways of getting rid of things) ,
except of course when ditching is the reason to buy something,
any of which I find very-very selfish.

Hopefully TheFoundry will find a better home who will value their products (and the communities around them)
and that they will be complimentary to what they already offer.

can’t see how Apple could possibly need that – this market is much too small (+professional, specialized and difficult) to offer anything to a giant such as Apple. They need an ‘app’ they can sell in the millions, and that runs on phones and tablets, and doesn’t require any thinking by the user.
Now a very simple effects-for-home-videos app – an AfterFX extra-light. Perhaps.

Maybe Apple is gonna buy Nuke because it really really needs it.

I remember iTunes disabling all optical drives in the registry upon installation on windows.
it was a well known/documented issue – that’s the last time I let anything from Apple on my computer.
 
Apple is evil.
(just to put things in perspective, I pretty much grew up with Apple computers in the house since the 80s)

Thats odd
 
We run a mixed Mac and Windows network over 100 machines and we have never had an issue.  Can you remember which apps they were?

Don't really recall the exact reason, but I had to uninstall Bonjour to get some apps working again.
It interfered somehow with the existing network stacks, creating all kinds of issues.

But then again, most of the Apple stuff on Windows does ;-P

Curious as why that is an issue. At best its built into Mac OS and at worse its a very small download and install for windows.

Can anyone confirm that Modo801 can be installed without Bonjour?

This was a big downer for us when we bought 701. Good thing we only paid half price for it.
