Yeah, I'll agree with you now. It's getting a little overdue. 

I was only trying to throw some links out to show some components, which is why I prefaced the list with 'raw' - I wasn't trying to suggest that as any kind of explicit shopping list.  Sorry for any confusion with that.

There are a lot of choices, and compromises, and goals, in getting a new system together.  Memory is quite cheap these days, and so is storage.  Video cards that are adequate are available for less than $100, and there are bundles out there if one looks, where for example an AMD quad-core processor and motherboard can be purchased for less than $150 that would be quite adequate for running Sonar.  There are trade-offs between performance and price, but a good balance can be found that would result in a pretty decent machine for not too much money.  I believe there was even a recent upgrade offer to get to Windows 8 for something like $39 dollars.

Well I got bad news for you Freddie H.
It’s the 15th of December here (East-coast Australia) and still no update. 

Because I'm 10 hours ahead of UK and something like 16 hours in front of US. I’ll PM you all so you know in advance when the update is released. 

Personally guess... ETA 2013

I have definitely woken up in an alternate universe this morning. Why on earth would a customer be loyal?

Perhaps other people's purchasing decisions are based on different criteria to mine but if I buy something and I'm happy with the product, happy with the service then I'm likely to buy from the company again.

If I'm not I buy elsewhere next time with a lesson learned. I certainly don't keep buying from them in the hope that I might be satisfied one day. Anyone who does that is going to be extremely disappointed, or perhaps they are insane in the first place.

Bizarre to say the least.

I couldn't agree more.  It baffles me why certain people come on here year after year complaining about Sonar.
 
I have a Ford Focus, and love it.  When I next buy a car, I will try another one.  If I buy a new model and it's terrible, I will think twice about getting another.  I would not keep trying them and complaining on some Ford Focus forum, I'd just buy a different car.
 
I, like many others, found Sonar X1 stable, especially X1d, which was rock solid FOR ME.  When X2 came out, I bought it because I'd been so happy with X1.  I didn't initialy use it for paying work, as new software is often buggy.  After the quick fix, X2 became very stable for me.
 
If X1 had been bad for me, I wouldn't have updated, and would be looking elsewhere.

 
... If you bought a Honda you'd never go back to a Ford!

I just got an email saying that X2a is slated before the end of the month. I can't wait! 

Here's what it said: 

SONAR X2a coming soon We are pleased to announce that the SONAR X2a update is almost ready for release and will be available later this month. The SONAR X2a update is free to all registered SONAR X2 users and introduces many new exciting features including:
 Official Windows 8 support as well as Touch support for Intel-Inspired Ultrabooks and other touch-enabled devices 
 Over 50 UI enhancements and improvements 
 Accessibility support 
 Enhanced Play List experience 
 Enhancements and fixes And more

Yep! Just got mine

Yahoo! Me too! Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy.
 
Boil the kettle it’s extra strength coffee time soon!
 
I’d hold my breath but it might make me look like I’m a resident of Pandora. 

I got no email.

I'm not seeing any of the problems you've listed above since the quickfix was released.

Try to mute a note in PRV. ALT CLICK- as you can see it keep delete it..
BREVERB keeps turn ON OFF "dead" in a BUS after reloading project?
Drop Outs of audio, audio engine halt sometimes... and so on...Deleting a BUS channel make SONAR X2 crash sometimes...
 
Tracklanes, get unlaned/ hide randomly selecting other tracks? Track lanes counts adds +20 empty tracks called "0" after reloading project?
Selecting Synth Audio track, MIDI Track and then range of the selection make MIDI track get unselected during Mixdown? 
The list goes on.... 

Breverb works great for me-use it in every project-never turns itself off and BTW-UPDATE by end of the month-relax

I got no email.

Honestly I usually don't either (get an email that is), that's why I come here for my news.
