Software for the operating system?
When I was growing up and studying computing, then working in IT, you always chose the software and then looked to see which operating system and hardware were required - at least for the main packages, subsidiary applications could usually be found.
Still, when the hardware "only" cost half a million and the software 5-6 million, it made some sense. ;-)

Colour Finesse in CS4
Interesting review.
As an aside, CS3 and CS4 do ship with an excellent colour grading suite - it just nobody actually seems to know about it. Not helped by Adobe's lack of any information.
It's called Colour Finesse, appears as an AE plugin and is an extremely capable grading program.
