>Is Apple going to cripple Logic Studio? Or will they also have to take their "pro" software out of the appstore?

The answer is simple, Apple's apps will have special access that will make them better than 3rd party apps which have to jump through all these hoops.

The current version of Xcode, released yesterday (two weeks prior to the sandboxing deadline), contains no code signing entitlements and hence is not sandboxed.
Except that you just made this up. Do you really think Apple doesn't know people are on the lookout for just such behavior?
What can anyone do about it really? They hide behind the 'is not a monopoly' excuse and there's nothing anyone can do.
If true, didn't Microsoft do that a long time ago... with Internet Exporer?
