I had this written for the now locked Mac update thread, but I am not one to waste my own hot air! 
Personal attacks on Craig Anderton are uncalled for. His positive contribution level is unquestionable, no matter where he draws a paycheck from.
Gee, I missed wherever that was so I didn't respond. Oh well. For the record, my paycheck is from Gibson Brands. Although I don't want to diminish the importance I attach to Cakewalk, the reality is it's more like a hobby to me because I've used SONAR since it was in beta...which was about 13 years before Gibson acquired the company. Today was spent testing...oh wait, I can't tell you about that. Anyway, it wasn't about Cakewalk. Nor was the telecommunications/DJ-oriented patent I assigned to Gibson Innovations today.
As to personal attacks, I had death threats when I was editing
Electronic Musician magazine. Some people didn't like my editorials, but obviously I'm still here

. I've been a public figure for over 50 years and part of that is being attacked by clueless people who have never met me, don't know me, have no idea what I do, yet feel qualified to offer their opinions. Whee!
As to the Mac version...I'm not in that loop, and frankly I don't care one way or the other. My philosophy has always been 1) buy the software you want to use, then 2) buy the computer to run it (in that order). Computers are
appliances. "Religion" is a whole different topic than operating systems, although it seems there's some confusion among some people.
To those who say "But I can't afford two computers," I'm never going to diss someone because they have financial limitations. But when I wasn't making very much bucks
at all, I saved and bought a TEAC A-3340 4-track recorder so I didn't have to pay the cost of going to Record Plant or whatever. In today's dollars, that cost $5,350. For the same amount you can now buy a Mac, a screamin' Windows machine, SONAR Platinum, and Logic X Pro and have money left over. Just sayin'. And the 3340 didn't have a mixer or a backline.
SONAR is a great program. I love it. After a decade of using a Mac and a-program-I-won't-name-because-I'm-a-gentleman I bought a Windows computer so I could run SONAR. Still use SONAR. Still have a Mac. Life is simple if you want it to be.
