This sounds a lot more negative than I intended it to sound - I have no interest in looking elsewhere and I love and will continue to support Cakewalk and SONAR -
Hope this doesn't devolve into something negative - it was really intended to just outline how I feel about the product and Cake's conservatism when it comes to rolling out their features - in particular - TOUCH.
(ok Flame on.)




Sorry, not flame-worthy
 
I'm going to speculate here...please note I have not asked Cakewalk about this and I could be 100% right or 100% wrong.
 
It seems like Windows 10 is going to be significantly different from Windows 8. Largely, the former mobile team is driving the train and while that scares some people (oh no! my desktop is going to turn into a tablet!!) IMHO it's harder to get mobile right. If they can do that, making the OS work on a desktop will be relatively simple by comparison.
 
If this is the case, Cakewalk might feel it's not worth putting the effort into a big update for Windows 8 when they would just have to do it all over again for Windows 10. But I don't know.
 
 


Hey Craig - thanks for the reply. You bring up a valid issue. By extension, another issue that might hurt SONAR development in this area is the difference in operating systems in general - for example what Windows 7 allows or has enabled as Touch features versus what Windows 8 does - unfortunately this may mean keeping the lowest common denominator of their user base.
Thanks - also - since I have your ear - I also want to echo my thanks to you for your participation on these forums, and for being such a valuable member of the SONAR and music communities.
Cheers
