Have we all been horribly duped? Has this been four years of wasted time? Money? Etc.?

Once you see what Symphony Nitris will do to DS in the marketplace, you will realize why Avid refuses to go down this road.  Though we love DS, it is of little concern to Avid what we think and what we want for DS's future.  They are playing a waiting game and watching DS work itself out of the market rather than flat out killing it off right away so they don't take the lion share of the blame and the backlash won't be as brutal.  But trust me, they'll feel it soon enough.  And companies like AutoDesk are laughing all the way to the bank.  We were just offered by a reseller new Adrenaline systems with "free" DNxHD boards.  It's pretty freakin' sad when you have to start giving sh*t away.

DS will never have a future.

Time to look elsewhere.
