B & H photo has the full version of Sony Vegas, minus the AC3 pro encoder and DVD burning software for 129 bucks....The full Version of Sony Vegas is VERY compairible to Final Cut Pro, nesting, 32 bit color processing, mulit camera editing, pro titler, etc... So on a PC for about 135 bucks or so shipped you can get something that compares to FCP....
I like having options when it comes to video editing, and right now for Mac it's either their stuff or no one's. That's always been my biggest complaint, I still think when it comes to choices PC's give you more. But at the end of the day it's all just opinion anyway ;) And really good marketing....
