That's just a guess based on many, many years of defending them and that product. I'm expecting a lot of the features Liquid currently enjoys to be removed and that they will make it like Studio on steroids. It likely will not be released until late 2009 and who knows what it will include. Why would the Pinnacle division want to be stuck with this Albatross again? The new version, affectionately named NextGen, seems more like a vague promise that may never see the light of day. They wanted to ensure the success of MC so they ripped out what they liked and essentially killed Liquid. My belief is that Avid couldn't stand the stiff competition from their own product over their less competent and vastly more expensive product.

To tell you the truth, it's been dead for years. The last thing they will likely ever do with it is the DX10 patch. It's NO rumor - Liquid is EOL (End of Life). especially one that costs a fraction of the other. Avid doesn't need 2 of its own products competing with each other. That BTW is one of the reasons (it's being rumored that Liquid is being moth-balled. In fact quite a few will argue that Avid Liquid at least as good if not better.
