> Another example of this that John gave is when they prematurely removed Firewire from the 13" Macbook. While Steve was CEO they realized that the market wasn't ready for that so they put it back in. And everyone was happy.

A much better example is iMovie, because the exact same events unfolded as with FCP:

* Apple has iMovie HD 6, a product with its roots in iMac DV but well understood and liked by its users.

* Apple releases iMovie '08, a complete rewrite of iMovie lacking many of HD6's features and completely panned by critics, HD6 is not available anymore

* Apple makes HD6 available as a free download to all iMovie '08 owners
