Same story with LOGIC PRO. Its keep getting old and outdate and nothing new the last 7 years...

Latest version is 9, Freddie. 
It came out in 2009. 
The latest free update dates from a month or two. ;)

Yeah Rain...It speaks for itself!

Oh yeah, it came out in 2009.
It already had the original "skylight" interface since the previous version.
Swipe comping.
Decent notation.
Buss which can be routed to other busses or anywhere.
Audio editor.
Input channels.
Varispeed.
Beat mapping that works.
Screensets (forever).

And a bunch of other awesome features which will get you all excited when they're implemented in Sonar X7 or X8. ;)

Apple is funny.  They used to be the "professionals" choice.  Now they are the consumer's choice.  All the apple stuff is pretty easy to use and integrated.  What is lost to this Wintel user is doing my thing w/ the separate components.  And some of the professionals (see above video) are giving up on the over-priced hardware since the wintel software caught up.  I know many engineers whom you couldn't pry their macs from their cold dead hands, but they are usually older when mac was the only game in town.

The apple sellers these days are the phone and pad and they work pretty well for consumption, FB etc.  I got the wife one to go w/ her iphone and she is happy.  They work well together and she has all her music and photos on the cloud and synced.  And she doen't have to think about it.  I lost some personal stuff when my computer went down not because of ignorance but sloth and not enough of my own backup cloud space.

It is easier to not have to worry about all the backup and syncing for most people and apple is pretty smart to be first down that road.  But I prefer to do it myself, even imperfectly and not tied down to apple world.

So.....not that any of you might have ever noticed, but I don't usually get into these **** measuring contests.

Is it not apparent that all of the effort people put into bashing what they don't use or have is an effort to feel better or validated about what they do have?

I'm actually pretty qualified to speak on this topic-- I'm a software developer, have been a sysadmin, DBA, etc. I'm currently an Associate CIO.

Apple products are expensive. However, the current generation of Mac OS, OSX, is built on the BSD kernel and is incredibly stable. UNIX systems have many tools built into them that Windows/DOS based systems don't natively have. Thus, they actually make great development platforms for PHP, Ruby, Java, Groovy, Python and others. In addition, one thing that Apple does that the others don't is innovate. Similarly to what I mention in the next paragraph, they grow via acquisition too. But, they on occasion do introduce original ideas.

For traditional business (meaning, word-processing, spreadsheets, managing email and calendars, etc.) systems, the MS-based solution is the clear winner. The greatest reason however is because of software. MS-Office is by far the most ubiquitous solution, and it is for most purposes a great product. Windows is a fine product now, but it wasn't always that way. Neither was MacOS. The only issue with MS is that they really only try to copy the innovations of others and mass-produce it. They grow largely through acquisition and don't typically release products into the marketplace that are original. (Challenge: try to name a MS product that is truly original to them. It's harder than you think.)

Last, when it's your money on the line, Linux and UNIX systems are more secure, generally faster and have a much more broad foundation of stability and cluster-ability for production internet-based applications. MS indeed has a presence, but it's not because their systems are great. It's because the labor needed to run them is much less expensive. They have visual tools that are easier for many folks to adopt. For most of the systems that we run in production we don't even bother to install a GUI-- it's just unnecessary bloat.

So, they all have their purpose and their niches. There isn't a better. One doesn't suck or any of that BS. They're all tools that have a purpose where they fit best. What one does exceptionally well, the other doesn't and vice-versa.

In closing, why can't people get over the "mine is better than yours" BS? Yours and hers/his are just different.

In my case no. As I said I was neutral it was their behavior that caused me to dislike them. What ideas has Apple come up with outside of very good marketing?

+1. I hate their business model.

Don't sell a product that will bring in less than 40% profit.

Though I certainly don't consider them innovators, Apple do indeed set the trends. Whether people like or hate Apple, the truth is that sooner or later, they'll end up using a product or an OS that is inspired by the success of Apple.

Windows 8, apps and the app store? Besides being uglier - a mandatory feature in Microsoft products - I don't see what exactly MS brought to the table here. 

You know, the only TV show I watch is South Park.  50% of the publicity during that show is about Microsoft Tablets and Windows 8, and how cool they are. That's not mentioning the X-Box. 

So if there one company which is all about hype these days (not actually because they are hype but because they're trying so hard to look cool), Microsoft gets the award.

People want exactly what Apple is selling. Just not from Apple... 

 I don't want what apple is selling sorry. I think the apple style is boring.

Rain now I know why I really like reading your posts. Not only are they well written but you always have something original in them. That is not an easy thing to do.
