Who are the AVID users on here?

I know Martini Shot Prod. use AVID (seeing their footage in AVIDs promos). Who else? If you are an AVID user, what line/version? MAC or XP or ?

BTW, I'm using Avid Xpress DV 3.5.2 (?) on XP, with PRO upgrade sitting on the shelf ready to be installed.

I've used various versions of AVID on both MACs and Windows for several years in the broadcast environment.

I love the product.
I HATE the company.
Their attitude toward customers and service -blows-.

If I'm -forced- to use an AVID because that's what the client has at their facility -- sure, I'm going to use it. However, they aren't getting a dime of -my- money until they change their business paradigm.

In my opinion, the best bang for the buck for long form fairly complex stuff is Final Cut, but that's Mac only.

I'm an AVID user of Final Cut Pro. Does that count?

I started using Adobe in high school, but now I use AVID Express Pro and AVID media composer 10.2 for everything I do. I love AVID's interface, but I haven't worked with Final cut. I will probably learn final cut HD this year as it is growing in popularity. Right now 95% of work in the industry is AVID, but FCP is growing.
