With the next version it should be clear if Logic is going to limp or sprint, if Apple is going to continue to patch on a little of this and a little of that, or if they're genuinely developing it as an Apple-quality pro application for the next 750-1000 or so years.
I'm actually applying for a job that would be completely Logic. So I really hope that Apple does great things with 8. I still think that Logic 8 killing of PT is wishful thinking. PT 7.3 is just too good. Digi definitely woke up, let's see if Apple will. My $1000 bet is that the expectations on this thread are way too high for Logic 8...

You may not agree with the musician vs. engineer distinction, but that was quoted from an Apple rep at NAMM. And as I watch Apple, a lot of their strategy is like that: marketing distinctions between pro vs. consumer, etc. And they do a dang good job at it. So I don't think that idea is far-fetched at all. Either the Apple rep said that, or the poster above is lying, but either way you don't have to flame me
