Microsoft should buy Cakewalk. Sonar should be the Logic/GB of Windows.

some are saying that "no one will buy it, stop kidding yourself"
others are saying "it must be sold, Gibson won't just walk away from it without a return on investment"
 
both cannot be true.
 
I think microsoft should buy it, just as Apple bought Logic.  
The basic version can be included with windows (as it is with GarageBand and Mac), then millions will upgrade to Sonar when they need more functionality.  
 
There has always been a strong relationship between cakewalk and microsoft- a commitment, it seems.  
I have plenty of criticism of the microsoft corporation, but i still see this as a sensible arrangement.
 
Windows 10 is actually pretty great, and i think sonar is running better now than at any time prior.
 

Viable. It's up to someone in MS or a group of someones. If Gibson doesn't price it out of the stratosphere. If filing for bankruptcy they can't be too choosy.If the lawyers decide it's a great time to buy a company for someone.

I think this is a good idea. Its better then the alternative! I must confess I can't understand why Gibson is not selling it.
