What Does the "X" Stand For?

I'm watching all this unfold on forums heavily populated by people working in broadcast, but to the outside world does this seem like the worst reception an Apple product has had in the last decade?

I've seen a lot of people saying all App Store reviews for FCPX have vanished, some refuting it...

I even sent Steve an e-mail a couple of hours ago. I feel so embarrassed about it now, but that's how much of a tizzy I was in.

Larry Jordan did say that FCP X was likely to have a broad appeal rather than appealing to the high end. I take it to mean that it's useful for the large number of editors that do work alone, throwing together all sorts of footage in the best way they can, and Hollywood is SOL.

Lotta broadcast people are quite mystified about their monitoring choices though...

According to Apple, it stands for 10 (they seem obessed with 10/X). But in reality the X stands for "ex" as in ex-wife or ex-Final Cut Pro.

x-crement.

This is why I switched to Adobe Premiere on CS5 and 64 bit support awhile ago.

If they screw up the MacPros like this as well, I'll be on a PC in 2 years when my machines show their age more.

i just wish Android phones had longer battery lives. Hopefully it will be soon.

Cool. Have fun. We will see you soon shortly in 2013.5 :rolleyes:
 
I wondered what the X was for myself. Didn't make sense until it was released, and I thought, "Hmmm, must be for Xpress." Kinda funny they did away with Express and put this joke in about the same price bracket. I'm wondering what happend to DVD Studio Pro? Is that dead to?
 
The "X" has been used when a product was totally renewed (or a lot different from the older version). For example Mac OS X and Quicktime X.

DVD studio pro is dead (I heard it was replaced by using both Motion and Compressor). They also count a small dialog with a few knobs the "replacement" for Color.:eek:

Nothing new in the Apple world. I'm waiting for when Lion gets released. Same thing all over again.
