Yeah, With so many different product lines, when they start mixing and matching abilities, it can seem like you either won or lost depending on which version you bought into. I bought XpressDv 3.5 and paid extra for filmscribe and other stuff, they started to give away free later on. It's a tough game.

I have one. It's not a very sweet machine. I would have rathered they just add firewire capabilities to the meridien line. lol
no kidding. It was quite a downgrade from the Symphony I traded in on it. They have not tried hard to compete in a long time.

Xpress pro on an ancient P4, and also on my fairly new Macbook Pro, installed on Windows XP through bootcamp.

At my office we have a Mac Pro with leopard running Symphony 3.5.4 with a Nitris DX and a HP 8200 workstation running XP and Symphony 3.5.4 teamed with a Nitris Classic. Personally I like working with the PC more but the Mac is a faster computer and we also have it hooked up to a realllllly fast RAID aside from our Unity that they are both connected to. Plus we have software Avids running on our Final Cut computers and and other various PC's.

I have 2 PC Avids, a xw8200 with Adrenaline, and a xw8400 with analog Mojo. Both have paid for themselves many times over.
