Pro Tools is not as widely used as VMware, but it is heavily involved
in the production of music, movies, and television shows.  Some time
ago it was eaten by a larger company, and perpetual licensing was
dropped.  Then last fall perpetual licensing returned.  Why..?  Heh,
you don't need to be a genius to figure that out...
