The vast majority have never used Pro Tools under anything but Avid's ownership. They just were not aware until Avid started putting its label on it.

Yes I'm aware that they bought the Digidesign name and everything that came along, but for me Pro Tools is the one part that's interesting.
I remember also when they bought Sibelius.
There were a lot of talented people both in US and UK that lost their jobs
when AVID moved the development to Russia.

And ... I believe you're right about the time of the D.Design transaction.
But the name itself does not matter too much.
What matters are the people behind the name and what they do and don't.
I believe bit by bit the 'wrong' people got their positions in the company,
and today we see clearly where that took us all ...

EDIT ... I remember receiving the e-mail telling us about their 'new' name. And the new colors as well. I sure didn't like it.
Something fishy about it ... I thought by then
