Pure curiosity...
 
Has there even been talk by Cakewalk of a dedicated Mac version of Sonar? Is it or has it ever been on the radar? Is there any rumours? What would be the difficulty? The idea of having to crap-around with Boot-Camp turns me off, plus the extra cost of having to buy a copy of Windows also would take the shine off things. Surely Sonar on Mac would bring-in a few hundred thousand dollars profit for Cakewalk wouldn't it? Just guessing. 

No plan for SONAR on Mac at this time.

I can't speak for Cakewalk, of course. But the Mac DAW market strikes me as a tough landscape to make money in. Logic and ProTools utterly dominate, Garage Band has it sewn up for hobbyists, and Apple can fight, and has fought, a far tougher price war there than any other developer. So I can well imagine the proposal not surviving a serious profit-and-loss study.

If you've got a MAc install logic X and call it a day.

Now that you put it like that, I suppose it would be pointless. And now that i think about it, if all that wasn't bad enough, they would still have Cubase and Studio One and Digital Performer to contend with. I see your point, wouldn't be worth it!
 
Andrew Rossa, thanks for the prompt reply. Cheers.

They are still losing in the desktop market.  The amount of PCs used on a planet makes Apple still quite minimal.  Remember they are a hardware company. 
 
Imagine if Logic was released for PC?  MOTU's DP is now cross platform.
Sony has ventured into Mac land with audio and some are hoping they do that with video.
If a company begins cross development, more resources would have to go to the Mac side. Updates are more frequent for a Mac OS. 
 
Bootcamp is always an option. Live 8 users found that Live worked better on Bootcamp/W7 than their Mac OS.

Best advice. DAWs are not religions or a marriage. You can break up or even practice polygamy (multiple DAWs).

Logic is incredible value. I'm happy with PC/Sonar but I really think there is no contest value-wise when you're already on Mac. For new buyers, that is.

EDIT: by the way, Logic used to be on PC. It wasn't until Apple took over from EMagic that it stopped PC support. I'm not betting on them ever reversing that.

I would personally love to see it on the Mac. I am passed moving to another DAW and am pretty much wedded to Sonar for life. It would be great if Cakewalk would let us know why there are no plans, and why there never have been as far as I know.

Financial resources required for a Sonar Mac version vs financial returns would probably make it unfeasible. Mac only has 8% of the PC market hardware wise. So, let's see, for example, 92,000,000 Windows PC's vs 8,000,000 Macs. The slice of the pie for Sonar sales on Mac considering all current competitors would just seem like it's not worth it, especially when Bootcamp can work fine for anyone who prefers Sonar but insists on using Mac.
