I thought they had a version of Final cut express for windows. I use adovbe premiere myself but that doenst help you now does it. Someone may give you a better answer but get a mac execute program for windows based users. Sadly mac always seem to have the better pgorams and its annoying trying to get the program to work on windows.

I've started playing with Final Cut Pro lately. I don't see how one can make such generic comparisons, and say one's just better than the other. From My experience, both programs can do almost the exact same things. You just need more experience in one or the other. Also, Windows and MAC are operating systems. They don't make the software.

I still can't get over the lack of a right mouse button, though. I use it so much in Windows! :D

You can't run OSX on a PC application, the firmware is designed specifically and preinstalled on the logiboard the comes specifically with Apple made products.

BUT! On the other hand you can run windows on OSX, or with Parellel desktops, you can run both at the same time. Gotta tell ya, it feels ever so satisfying to control Microsoft in my own hands with my dual core iMac, as opposed to it controlling me, which it had done everyday for my entire life for the past ten years.

Amen. A couple of guys did get OSX running on a pc but you'd have to hack the cr** out of our computer and your OS, so not reccommended unless you have a couple other computers lying around...

Just by a Mac. And by the way Gyro ("so, Windows and MAC are operating systems. They don't make the software."). I think you'll find Apple do make Final Cut Pro. Also Windows make a bunch of cr**.

ALSO! All Macs and Apple desktops (I'm not sure about laptops) come with a 4 button mouse + a 360 degree mouse. :D It's called the...

Mighty Mouse! :D
