PT has a serious edge on the basis of intertia alone. It doesn't matter where I track, mix, or edit, whenever I move between studios, I pack the tracks in a PT session, because everyone has one. Anyone new who wants to play in the game has to at least have a digi01/LE setup, and most will ebay an 888/24 just to be considered "pro".

What will it end up looking like? I'd bet hard on mac, because of their philosophy of design, not their current technology. I'd also put a little side bet on them designing a legit hardware side to Logic, to make it competitive on the pro market. I'd sell short on cubase and digital performer. I don't think they can compete longterm with the bankroll and the r/d of logic.
