(Edited for content, hopefully it won't get deleted this time) Excuse my bluntness and I say this out of love but....Seriously!?! This is the same group who losses it if an update doesn't contain their particular fix. The same group who lost it when the secret announcement teased a few years back wasn't what they had dreamed up in their own heads. The same group of people who whine that one group of users get a discount or free plugin they've had for over a year. Now Gibson is ready to flush Cakewalk down the toilet and all I'm hearing is... SAD?!?... Really?!?... Sad!?!...Forget sad!
 
Some of us have been loyal costumers since before computer music was a real thing and hardware was still king. Trying to convince our friends that this was the future.
 
Some of you are probably thinking ..."but Fresh, what can we do about it?" ...My answer is... something, anything but say "aw sad" and walking away! This is the modern day of the internet and social media. Get enough voices behind a movement and things can happen. Movies have been funded, TV shows have been brought back from the dead. Presidential campaigns have been won and lost...etc.
 
And to this statement "your software will continue to work normally"...I love you guys but let's be real, nobody wants a software product without development or support. There are a ton of great products out there that technically still work but no one will touch with a 10ft pole and a hazmat suit on. Project5, Kinetic, Shortcircuit sampler, Alchemy for win, etc. One bad windows update and you're dead in the water.

 
Some of us have based our livelihood on Cakewalk products and have been loyal to a fault for decades just get a " Oh well, it's been fun guys" for our troubles and tons of cash spent on upgrades and add on products.
 
I don't know exactly what we can do to save Cakewalk but we've got to do something people. Forget sad..get mad...get motivated...get organized. Let's make something happen. Who's with me. #savecakewalk

Interesting, and hopefully not entirely out of the realm of possibility!... CW would not even be pocket change for MS, but it would be an interesting partnership and they've already worked pretty extensively together so the foundation is there... let's cross our collective fingers!

Microsoft and Cakewalk had a pretty close relationship back in the day. So this seems plausible.

It's about time to start our own revolution
Since Gibson jumps ship, lets get Microsoft to take over
