I'm just quoting what you wrote...

This is not true. No capacity is no capacity.

No, but when a noviate to the PC platform asks questions, I feel
it's my duty to answer them with clarity. And yes, I am zealous
about software, having spent an awful amount of time using both
good and bad software. Cubase for the PC is a great idea, but their
implementation stinks. Since both Cubase and Cakewalk Pro are both
relatively expensive (for PC beginners), it's very important for
them to be satisfied with the performance of their systems. Pointing
out programs which have exhibited a great deal of problems is
something I would hope all of us would do. It both helps the
user, and helps to stop the companies that are guilty of poor
programming form profitting from a user's inexperience.

According to the grapevine, it will be a separate product, though
current users will have a discount price much like an upgrade. I doubt
it will be the standard $50 though. The reasoning for creating a separate
product is, as I understand it, is that it wouldn't be fair to force 
users through this upgrade path, since many wouldn't need the dig audio, 
and therefore the added cost (This *is* to be expected <g>) to the "upgrade" 
would burden those users who don't want or need the added capabilities.
I believe the new product will have a different name as well, but will
integrate both the capabilities of CW Pro and the digital audio "stuff".
