Most of the plugins I use are x-platform, so I'll only miss out on Logics internal ones (which, of course, would be quite a sad thing) but would regain access to some other marvelleous things (WaveLab as your standard editor, some kickass Win-only freebies, a decent file browser, etc.).
In fact, if I could find a Windows laptop and a sequencer offering the same combination of CPU power, efficiency and mobility as I'm getting from my Macbook and Logic, I'd be all over it instantly. Too bad that for now there's not exactly an alternative - the truly powerful Windows laptops are not exactly travel-friendly, and that's pretty much a must for me.

Sascha,
Hang in there mate..... i remember you from the early Logic user group, when everyone was on 28k dial up. Your posts were always helpful etc... and we used to have a bit of fun there too with the devs.... times have changed
I'm with ya on the frustration etc, but as long as we keep on makin' stuff we get paid for, then things aren't dead in the water.
As you mention, there are heaps of options in the windows world, but they don't come without the price of portability and reliability. If it were that simple, I reckon there'd be a bunch of us all over it with you!
Regards,
Matt
