Sonar is Massive in the states!
Sonar by far pushes the envelope much harder than any other DAW out there and they always work really closely with Intel and Microsoft to make sure they are there on the money. They just don't have the clout that the big 3 have over here. Opinions change from region to region.
the US lives by DP and Sonar, both could be held as better than their counterparts (DP - Logic, Sonar - Cubase).
64 bit Sonar is solid, as is there multicore processing!
What's the deal with Vista. I've been using it and testing it for a long while now and once you get used to the quirks, and pull out the useless stuff, it's ok. It's also pretty reliable. Truth be known after an initial head scratch and a few broken keyboards my life has been made easier through the changes implemented with Vista.
This is an OS that is designed around current hardware. Data transfer rates and general disk usage are by far and beyond much, much better in Vista. Everyone's already looking towards 7 being the saviour, and i really do hope that we get another Windows ME - 2000 situation where one OS has, essentially, a major update and re-branding and becomes a rock solid OS that no one ever wants to upgrade.
