Wow! That is indeed encouraging - at least on the Microsoft end of things. I
heard that when Gibson took over Cakewalk, that was more or less the end of any
collaboration on accessibility to the latest versions of Sonar. You're
absolutely right in that Sonar was the leader in that sort of thing; and it's
truly a shame that it isn't continuing at this point.

Think I have something encouraging to share with regard to this particular
point. Microsoft do care about the music technology end of things. In fact, one
of the guys who heads up a team has incorperated some great new developments
into the OS which improve audio and MIDI drivers. He has a personal interest in
doing this as he uses the OS with music technology products. Heard a really
interesting podcast about this and was greatly encouraged :-) Further more, he
actually gave out his work E-mail address and is happy to talk to folks about
this via E-mail or on Twitter.
Having said all of the above, I don't think anyone at Cakewalk is interested
in working with us on making Sonar accessible which is a shame as they used to
lead the market with accessible DAW software.
