I've played alot with M$ music apps, and the best in my opinion were
Reaktor and Kontakt2 sampler. Reaktor is what I wish Csound could
become. The pre-built synths people have made were/are amazing.

One thing that bothers me though, is why are Linux peeps playing with M$
apps instead of funneling that energy towards replacements in native Linux?

I can no longer support commercial software and the bizness model for
personal reasons, but I wish that Linux had a bit more to offer as far
as music creation goes.
