FCP 2- Announced March 14 2001

FCP 3- Announced Dec 2001

FCP 4- Announced April 2003

There was a stretch over a year between FCP3 and FCP4. This is not suprising because of the level of enhancements between the versions.

Good points though. I have to be hard on Apple sometimes. Sure I could be wrong but I could be right as well. Keynote isn't a large application. There is a reason why they haven't upgraded it. I'm crossing my fingers for a version 2.0 but i'm worried that Keynote may have fallen prey to politics.

I don't care how flashy and whizbang Office 2004 is for the Mac. It is NOT better than ANY recent version of windows for 1 important reason. It can't fully link to an Exchange Server and use all the scheduling features...bummer. MS knows this and hypes up other features that are frankly non-essential in a biz environment. Exchange support is a non-negotiable for many companies. Mac Office 2004 is critically wounded.

I haven't tried Keynote myself but by just looking it does look like a nice app

There no point coming out with a new update if there isn't something good you can add, you can get extra themes (from .Mac mainly) so its not completely cut off

Besides Apple use it in their Keynote presentations, so in a way even if it went off the shelves it wouldn't disappear but if they are using it internally they might as well sell it to everyone else too
