Used to use Avid xpress pro. Actually gave Vegas Pro 8 a shot and after rewiring my brain around it, and taking some tutorials to get used to it's quirks, I am really liking it. It seems far easier to accomplish more advanced things like colour correction and video effects.
Plus it can handle almost any file format, new captures, the new AVCHD hard drive codec, even previously encoded WMV's that we sometimes just wanna cut up or what ever. Unlike Avid which really didn't like to import much at all. (Yes I know it's a high end software and just doesn't bother with the prosumer formats, I know) But Vegas is the Windows version of Mac software that "It just works".
(PS tried migrating to Mac a couple months ago, while I was impressed at how easily it did complicated things, I switched back due to how difficult it makes the simple things, that I do on a day to day basis.)
