Just click on the banner that constantly changes til you see the Pro Tools 7 advertisement. Click on it and see pro tools 7. Improved midi and other crap but the same amount of tracks and busses. For the lazy people:

Digidesign® Pro Tools® 7 software represents an evolutionary leap in the creative power of the industry-standard digital audio workstation. With a wealth of new features and enhancements, Pro Tools 7 software delivers significantly expanded recording and editing capabilities for audio and MIDI, greater mixing power and flexibility, enhanced efficiency, and improved ease of use. The result is a whole new set of tools that advances the art of audio production.

More Compositional Tools
Take advantage of new Instrument Tracks for improved integration with virtual instruments and MIDI sound modules. Work with REX and ACID files — two of the most popular formats for loops and samples. Group any combination of audio and MIDI regions together to quickly build arrangements. Use new region looping capabilities to assemble grooves or fill time between video cues. Apply groove input quantization to alter the feel of MIDI tracks as you record. With these and many more features, Pro Tools 7 software is what composers have been waiting for.

Tweaking Encouraged
Experiment more freely with MIDI tracks using new real-time MIDI processing capabilities. Capitalize on mirrored MIDI editing to automatically alter copies of MIDI regions throughout a session. Use the new Zoom Toggle button to quickly enter an editor view mode for easy editing of audio and MIDI. Choose the new Link Track and Edit Selection option to apply track-level commands across multiple tracks at the same time. In addition to these features, nearly every MIDI operation window includes enhancements, making it faster and easier to work with MIDI than ever before.

Greater Mixing Power and Flexibility
Enhanced support for multi-processor computers and improvements to the RTAS® environment in Pro Tools 7 software increase plug-in counts up to 150% on dual-processor computers. In many cases, you’ll be able to run more than twice as many RTAS plug-ins and virtual instruments on your sessions. (Click here for more information on RTAS performance improvements.) Additional software optimizations provide a faster, more responsive, and more powerful workstation. Plus, support for RTAS processing plug-ins on Aux Inputs and Master Faders (a new feature for Pro Tools|HD® systems) enhances compatibility between Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE™, and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems.

Even Easier to Use
Even with all of its additions and improvements, Pro Tools 7 software is still one of the easiest audio applications to use. Menus have been streamlined and organized more logically, though key commands remain the same. A new Tool Tips feature provides descriptions of objects within the interface when the cursor is placed over them so you can get better acquainted with the interface.

Unique Hardware Options
Pro Tools 7 software supports a full array of hardware interfaces and peripherals, so you can use the hardware option that best suits your needs. Pro Tools HD 7 software works with Pro Tools|HD and Pro Tools|HD Accel systems; Pro Tools LE 7 software supports Mbox®, Mbox 2, Digi 002®, and Digi 002 Rack™ systems; and Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software supports a wide range of M-Audio® peripherals, including:

While this is not PT 7 related it still relates if you use PT.

If you know about URS then you know they make some of the best EQ plugins. Now they've made two compressor plug ins. The 1070 = Neve the 1980 = SSL

I was reading about PT 7 and found these improvemenst as well.

Support for up to 10 sends per track increases mixing flexibility and allows larger, more complex mixing architectures

New support for 32 internal mix busses allows for larger, more complex mixing architectures

An all-new, free Dynamics III DigiRack plug-in (released concurrently with Pro Tools 7 software) allows easy and powerful control of mix dynamics ( from what I've read supposed to be very clean sounding )

More Power to Create
Pro Tools 7 Software Optimizations Deliver Host-processing Performance Increases
Up to 150%
Pro Tools 7 software boasts powerful RTAS plug-in performance improvements within the RTAS engine and the RTAS plug-in environment, allowing Pro Tools HD 7, Pro Tools LE 7, and Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software users to run significantly more RTAS processing and instrument plug-ins on single- and multi-processor computers.

The RTAS engine in Pro Tools 7 software has been completely overhauled for load-balanced multi-processor support. This enables you to take advantage of every available host processor in your system to perform RTAS processing — delivering plug-in instance counts that scale with the number of processors in your computer. For example, you will see up to twice the number of RTAS plug-ins on dual-processor computers. Preliminary tests† with Digidesign's EQ III shows a performance increase of 98% with Pro Tools 7 software vs. Pro Tools 6.9.2 software.†† Digidesign's D-Verb plug-in also shows similar results, demonstrating a performance increase of 83%. Native Instruments Battery 2 showed a 60% performance increase with Pro Tools 7 software.

Thanks to the enhanced RTAS plug-in environment in Pro Tools 7 software, plug-in developers can create more efficient processing and instrument plug-ins — allowing Pro Tools users to enjoy more plug-in instances on single- and multi-processor systems. When used in tandem with the enhanced multi-processor RTAS engine, select plug-ins will benefit significantly, delivering up to 150% more plug-in instances on dual-processor computers. For example, Arturia's CS-80V virtual synthesizer shows a performance increase of 125% with Pro Tools 7 software* vs. Pro Tools 6.9.2 software.** Way Out Ware's TimewARP 2600 virtual synthesizer also shows clear performance gains, demonstrating a performance increase of 114% over pre-Pro Tools 7 software. Digidesign's EQ III showed an impressive 151% performance increase with Pro Tools 7 software.
