I had opened a thread here with my own humble swearing opinion…  If the choice for broke musicians or for videomakers is between a MBP and nothing from Apple, be sure a part of them will go windows just because their budget can't stomach the price tag. And most PCs HAVE iLink ports… We already pay a premium for firewire for any peripheral we buy, but we do so not because we like the premium but because Firewire rocks. We have investments in firewire for a reason, plus firewire is Apple baby… It makes no sense.

"It makes no sense."
No. It makes perfect sense. Apple has a 10% market share now. Of that, maybe 1% are Pros, .01% are musicians and .001% care about Firewire. In Apple's eyes, that's nothing.
I'm not shocked at all.
