This is great if for no other reason than to wake up the lame sleeping giant
I will say that I'm not afraid of innovation and if some company wants to finally step up and prove it wants to be the future leader in DAW technology... I say more power to them! The real challenge for a company such a PreSonus, however will be their ability to weather the tests which come with the inevitable advancements in OS and processor tech. This is where Apple has the huge advantage. Of course the Logic team seems to have vanished, so perhaps it doesn't matter.
Oh, and PreSonus guys... Impressive statement with the 64-bit, by the way. I like your style
