To bad for Mac users Pro 1.5 is simply wonderful.
Rating: 5/5
If you are using 6.5 or below, why? Now is the time to upgrade!*
I love the new Pro interface and with Win XP's effortless multiple monitor support I'm in heaven. The features added in Pro 1.5 make it a worthwhile upgrade: project management tools, Panasonic 24P/24PA support, Bézier keyframe controls, effects favorites (AWESOME), HiDef (HDTV) support, auto-color adjustment (Pro 1.0 has some great color support too, but it's a no brainer now), project-ready Photoshop files (great for a WYSIWYG in Photoshop 7.0 and above - helps greatly with pixel aspect ratio issues), After Effects plug-in compatibility, After Effects clipboard support (have not used this yet, Discreet Combustion user :) ), AAF (Advanced Authoring Format, for some compatibility with AVID), Windows Media 9 export from the timeline (supports HDTV-720P-1080i) - WM9(VC-9) is part of the new HD-DVD spec coming soon to an outlet near you. You can also configure your keyboard hotkeys quickly to comform to Final Cut Pro 4.0 or AVID Xpress DV 3.5.
* WARNING - You must have SSE chip support and Windows XP. For AMD users this means you must have a Athlon XP or 'higher' chip.
If you are not upgrading but buying new get the Adobe Video Collection Standard it is only $200 more and is WORTH IT. If you are upgrading don't upgrade to AVC just upgrade to Pro 1.5. Buy a new AVC so you can have 2 licenses of Premiere Pro dirt cheap.
