Apple says that their relationship has not been damaged because of this.
R.I.P. Premiere.
Adobe does seem to be filling a big hole in Windows software. I still don't want to edit video on my PC. It's such a pain.
The decision reflects Apple's success in the digital video market with Final Cut Pro. "Around 80-90 per cent of our Premiere customers are on Windows," Kilisky said. "There was around a 70 per cent Windows, 30 per cent Mac split before Final Cut Pro."
"Final Cut Pro cut the business in half," he added. "It's unfortunate for those left behind - we'll be happy to upgrade them to the Windows version," he said.
