No more Shake development
Remember that amazing price reduction that Apple announced along with the release of Shake 4.1 (well, only for the Mac version)? Seems that all that glitters isn't gold.Apple sent a message to their Shake users (via a listserv) and let them know that Apple will no longer be actively developing Shake, but they are working on a brand new composition product (maybe). They are offering to license the code to production shops (or users I imagine) for $50,000 (or they can get a refund for the remainder of their service contract). That might seem a little costly but you also get 5,000 licenses which is a great deal.

This is a good thing because since apple aquired shake a lot of newcomers have been adding more and more features, leaving shake behind a bit, and if i hear correct, a new compositor - with the ease of motion and power of shake would be amazing, im predicting an express and pro edition, express being bundled with final cut studio instead of motion.

MacRumors has been pointing this out as well, plus adding some additional info about the future application. http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/06/20060621173738.shtml
