DAW to DAW software comparisons

With PT9, Pro Tools is now available as a software-only DAW. So now software to software comparisons of the major DAWs can be made without all of those hardware demons lurking in the back of our minds. I'd like to encourage those of you with extensive experience on multiple DAWs to chime in with comparisons of (1) workflow (2) features and (3) technical specs.

Software and computer for classical composing

The Software:

So I'd like to stick to PC if possible because my brother works for Microsoft and I get Microsoft software for 90% off. So, from what I've read. The pc standard mixing software is acid pro. In acid pro can I compose classical music via notation? Does acid pro have the ability to provide me with decent quality synths (strings, brass, winds, piano, etc)?

Software Piracy

Someone posted this on Guitar Player forums. I think it's a very good read. It gives the perspective of a content creator who has tried to meet the problem of piracy head on. Still it seems an exercise in futility. I hope that some of the pirates out there will read this and have a change of heart.
