Apple's move on the pricing of Logic, is either that they are just being aggressive
and are looking to grab market share, or they know something is about to
happen in the industry. Maybe Microsoft is about to buy a audio software
company. The day Apple was going to announce new iPods, MS announced a 20%
price drop on the Zune to trump Apple's announcements. Bill Gates leaked
that they are looking to come in to the iPhone market. I think Apple responded
by dropping iPod prices, and drastically dropping the price of the iPhone.

For the loyal Logic users, I think Apple did the right thing by dropping
the upgrade prices. For the money, I can't see anything else that is as
full featured as Logic Studio 8. It's going to be hard to compete with that
kind of pricing and that kind of package. It's slick and it looks easy to
use. It's like a full production studio in one box. This is really going
to shake up the market. I'm wondering what MOTU is going to do. Obviously
by Morgan's pricing on Cubase, Steinberg has taken notice and a step back.
I wonder who else will get their pricing in line.

Do you think MS could get away with buying Digidesign? They already own
a chunk. I guess will know by the end of AES.

I hope Apple drops the price of FCP next. What ever the reason was for the
Logic price drop, it was a vary smart move. I think we'll all benefit from
it. Thank you Apple!
