I can't say i blame them. As you point out, there are some issues, but they are being resolved, aren't they?

So far. But what happens if Steinberg and the others decide to jump on the Linux bandwagon? In some ways, the lack of interest from the Pro Audio vendors is a good thing. Don't take this the wrong way, i'd love to see commercial audio apps on linux, but if Steinberg ported their VST-based apps to linux, where would that put MuCoS?

Well, atari was just an example of a computer that was very succesful in the Pro Audio world. Of course, you can do a lot more with a 700 Mhz Athlon than a 7 Mhz 68000.
