dunno, It's kinda hard to say, like thie whole IT industry changes so rapidly. One thing is fur sure though, computers are going to get faster! One thing fur sure also, digi won't rest on their laurels, specially after getting their arses whipped with final cut. TDM almost certainly will be getting the boot, but when? I dunno. 2 years is unlikely but 10 years is probably certain. The higher sample rates require truckloads of juice, so expect dsp cards to hang round for a while. However when digi does finally drop TDM they can just switch to their very successful product model B. DIGI 001 anyone? They can just Make huge interfaces that work with their software, just like they do now. Digi will be around for ages, cause everyone knows it and everyone has truckloads of (very expensive) files saved in pts format sitting on their HD.
