Oh, AVID workstations/production machines are not connected to internet as you can't even run virus protection on them. Antivirus goes nuts when it sees terabyte files :)

Perhaps to some huge storage farm via network but not internet.

Thats why they have luxury not to upgrade to win XP Pro.

Some guys are testing Enterprise 2003 on non critical machines (non time critical editing) though.

Remember that windows 2000 effecting virus/worm creating havoc, breaking news on TV? People asked "What is the big deal?", the deal was the massive amounts of windows 2000 installed at TV stations and stupid administrators connecting them to web. :)

Apple/ OS X based is the most expensive and best (cost effective,reliable) option on AVID of course.

Technical companies love double meaning words you know.

I suspect anyone remember what AVID stands for, must be Audio Video something.

I worked on them, never thought what it originally stood for.

Nobody beats Apple on that. Thanks to Omnidictionary, I learned what "True Blue" means as plain english term and it also has connection with NeXT era /Rhapsody terms. OS 9 support under OS X has process name "trublue" you know.
