XSI Petition 2005-05-31 - By Raffaele "ThE_JacO" Fragapane
Back
May I be so blunt to point out the major flaw in these polls?
They keep recurring on the list, cgtalk, xsibase, at usergroups...
Now, please remind me what the amount of new licenses Soft would sell could
be if the poll was successful between people who are ALREADY for the vast
majority XSI users.
In my book it would be between 5 and 20 ;)
If you want these polls to have any weight start evangelizing the mac
userbase that doesn't know XSI yet, and poll THEM for opinions.
Actually now that I think of it, that was done on some mainstream OS-X forum
some time ago, and the result of the poll were something like:
1) Not interested, the apps we already have are more then enough for me
[37%]
2) would consider it if the price was brought down to line up with maya's
and C4D (it was before foundation) [10%]
3) Yes! I'd be all over it [3%]
4) what's XSI? [50%]
This is off the top of my head, but I think they are quite close to what the
poll resulted into, try looking for cached forum pages on google maybe.
I sort of like macs nowadays, and I COULD consider an Apple laptop one day
if more SW I need gets ported to it and if Apple stops screwing with some
companies, but I can't see the mac userbase to be this huge pool Soft really
and absolutely wants to tap.
>From my days in Avid my experience with managing a mac userbase, and
relationships with Apple, is that it's usually usually a serious PITA.
P.S.
They do have the sexiest workstation case with the G5 and the 30"
cinemadisplay is gorgeous, shame the CPUs still come out as disappointing in
all we tested here (we have a fair deal of G5s for shake and tryied some
stuff on it)

Maybe that's because everyone wants to use Xsi on OSX ;-)

That being the case, common sense
