Anyway, I venting because this is the Avid portion of DVInfo and I get tired of FCP zealots coming over to bash the company when they themselves don't even use the platform.

I couldn't agree more...if you really wanted a demo, go to a dealer and take one for a test drive.
1 reason IMO, there's no demo, is because they can't guarantee it'll work flawlessly on every computer...unless they make the demo so stripped down and generic...and what would the point of that be? So in that case a Demo version would probably hurt sales more...say if you got a demo, installed it on a PC with the popular non-approved components that are known to cause problems...like an ATI video card, on-board fire wire and XP/home edition...and the Demo didn't work, are you really going to order a full version? But whose fault is that?
I'm a long time avid owner and it would take a lot for me to jump ship to FCP.
