It surprises me that they've not ported to linux yet.
You can't really run their software without their hardware,
they have something of a UNIX heritage, if they were to open
source the software it would do them wonders as pr/advertisement,
it would give them the benefits of linux developers and get them
as firmly entrenched in the linux world as they are everywhere else.

{{Linux strikes me as being vastly more suited to industrial scale
applications than anything else. Lower latency, more stability, it's
open source and it's free.}}
Seeing as movie folk and major 3d apps are already running on linux
it really seems that there's a need there.
{Not to dis linux developers but you do need compatibility, standards
and apps that folk know how to work.}
