With Garageband and Soundtrack, can't you do most of this now (for the most part)?
Combine all audio material in an optimized workflow environment: recordings, loops, phrases and complete songs
All rhythmical material is stretched in real-time to follow the project tempo
Combine mono and stereo WAV, AIFF and SDII files of any sample rate, bit depth or original tempo
Unlimited number of tracks and sound files per track
Play sound files of any length (audio plays directly from hard disk)
Integrated file browsers for pre-listening of sound files in sync with the project tempo
Automation can be recorded and edited for all mixer and effects controls
Tempo can be changed at any time, automated as a continuous curve, adjusted to fit the music to film cues

i seriously doubt they will buy live. it is a nice piece of software though, depite its appearence.
i imagine apple will more likely just try to make Logic (and Logic Express) more user friendly. if they can make Logic as easy and straight forward to use as GarageBand...woohoo...it just gives me goose bumps.

No.
The point about Ableton Live is the second part of the name.
Real-time live loop recording, transposing, pitching, speed-shifting, arranging.
Live.
Logic and its derivates are NOT in any way designed for live (as in, "stage") use.
You can use them for playing back stuff in live sets, and mixing or processing them externally, or as a host for playing virtual instruments live, but that's about it.

Hardly likely, since they already have - it's called "GarageBand".
It's that easy for the same reason compact cassette recorders are easier than a 2-inch 24-track tape machine hooked up to a 48-channel inline console with five-way parametric eq per channel and $75,000 in outboard sound processing equipment.
Smart-ass attitude aside (sorry), the Setup Assistant in Logic 6 is an absolutely brilliant step in the right direction, and it's pretty obvious that a number of other areas in Logic stand to benefit from increased "Apple-fication".
