“AppleInsider” (http://www.appleinsider.com) says that Apple is so excited over the upcoming Lion update that it’s freezing the introduction of new MacBook Airs, Mac minis and Thunderbolt-equipped Apple Cinema Display until the OS upgrade arrives in July.

I find that a big confusing. We have iMovie and Final Cut Express — so if Final Cut Pro X 1.0 isn’t for pro users, who is it for?
