mac osx project transfers.

If i record on the Sonar MAc version can i still export it as a cakewalk bundle and go open it up in the windows version sonar?

According to this, yes. It will be fully compatible.
How similar will it be to the PC version? Can you open the same projects? Will it come with the same bundle of plug-ins?

"It should work identically to the PC version of SONAR, because both the Mac and PC versions use the same code. This also means 100% project file compatibility. The first free alpha version will include a subset of Cakewalk plug-ins and modules for the ProChannel, our critically acclaimed, per-track proprietary modular channel strip. It resembles an analog console and includes effects like Console Emulation of three vintage consoles, QuadCurve EQ with four modes that simulate classic console strip EQs as well as a fly-out spectrum analyzer, tube distortion, and compression including a “4K” compressor on every bus. Other DAWs let you configure how a mixer looks; SONAR lets you configure the actual mixer architecture."

Will the Mac version always support VST2/3 plugins, or will we have to switch to AU when that becomes available?

Will the Mac version come with Cheese?
 
The one I have now does.

I like wine with my cheese, thank you very much...

I expect once Sonar Mac with VST plugin support is out there will be a long thread on this.   I am looking forward to trying to bring over some big completed projects to Mac from the Sonar 4 era  that I haven't looked at in years.  Luckily, I used mostly UAD and Waves plugins which, of course, are cross platform and are still made. 
 
The question for me is what is going to show on Sonar Mac for plugins that don't have OSX equivalents.  Old great freebies like Bionic Delays or the Kjaurhaus (sp?) plugs.  I don't know if it is possible but it would be nice if you could see a snapshot of the settings on the plugin (via a generic interface or the like) so you could pull up a replacement plugin and try to get the comparable settings in the same ballpark as starting point.

From the SOS Article with Noel B.:
 
Can you explain more about the plug-in system? Will it use VST or Audio Units? When will this be implemented?
"AU plug-ins are not supported at this time, so for now the Mac version supports the same plug-in standards that the SONAR Windows supports— VST2, VST3 and DX. Cakewalk plug-ins in these formats are supplied with the Alpha version, and are distributed as part of our installer, so users will be able to experiment with plug-ins in SONAR OS X.
 
"We’ll be updating our site with more information in the near future and people can go to www.Cakewalk.com to keep up on the latest developments with the new platform."

Thank you I appreciate the answer and extra info from everyone else here.
