All this speculation is silly, and hats off to cakewalk on their social experiment to get us all talking about it!
The truth will soon become clear. The fact that very senior members of the Gibson corporation are so actively involved in this community gives me absolute faith that we are not about to be left to hang out to dry. Good on them, bring on the future, if the product roadmap was dead the lack of activity would let us know. I think its safe to say we are far from that.
You never know, a corporate with the clout of Gibson may just have done a deal with Microsoft or something to make sure Sonar is THE daw on PC's ala Logic on Mac.....whatever it is I welcome it with open arms
