Forecasting the Apple Downfall

Sign 1: Mac Pro hasn't been updated in about two years. The graphics card it ships with is 3 generations old.

Sign 2: Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are no longer industry standards in their respective fields.

Sign 3: Progression to iOS desktop interface. Don't they know they don't manufacture a touch screen computer?

Conclusion: Professional users are slowly but surely being dropped.

IMO, Apple's success is rooted in the fact that they produced well designed products for professionals, which were also usable by average consumers. If they stop supporting the needs of the professional user, slowly but surely, the quality of the product will erode.

Couple the release of the poorly reviewed Mountain Lion against the release of the well reviewed Windows 8 and reality comes into view.

My next machine will be a PC.
