Apple Announces the Fate of Shake

Rura Penthe writes "NothingReal, developer of Shake (a high-end video
compositing application), was purchased by Apple in February. Until now the
fate of Shake on Windows, Irix, and Linux was uncertain at best, but in an
email sent out to Shake users, Apple has declared that Irix and Linux
versions will be developed at least through 2003. However, the upcoming
Windows version will be the last for that platform. Good news for Shake
users with Linux render farms like Weta Digital, which used Shake for Lord
of the Rings." (Reminder to Apple users: visit Slashdot's Apple section for
