God, I hope so! I'm tired of being a slave to Apple's ridiculously over-priced computers!!!!

Ahhhh man....
This sux! I could buy 2 PC's for the price of a Mac.
Re: Ahhhh man....
If that's your sole criteria for building a DAW, then there are lesser alternatives on the software side as well.devdotcom wrote:This sux! I could buy 2 PC's for the price of a Mac.

No. You could buy one equally configured decent name brand PC w decent components and a warranty and tech support for the price of a Mac.devdotcom wrote:This sux! I could buy 2 PC's for the price of a Mac.
Yr fud is out of date.
yeah... Its consolidated all the windows into one! 
No but seriously... When you said "I've heard the rumor that you buy buy a windows version of DP 5. Is this true? "
Its the "buy buy" bit you got wrong - you only have to 'buy' it once its 1/2 the price then.
really!

They haven't even got it working on OSX yet - and you want a port? Damn!
XP is pretty stable though... would be nice. There are some sweet coreduo windows laptops- not to mention all the formidable subnotebooks
Apple's overpriced hardware and draconian DRM are a constant problem.
I own like everything - and the Macbook Pro is nice- but I still carry a sony around with me as well.
I have heard though that they have a pseudo-running version in Windows - and this was a couple of months ago, so if this is true, then it would probably be much closer now.
I think MOTU would kick ass if they did this. Too bad they didn't have it before - they could have picked up the pieces after Logic's demise. Would have been great marketing - instant customers!
Maybe one of us should just buy MOTU and make it happen

What "draconian DRM" does Apple have? I have the entire Final Cut Studio, and there's no DRM or dongles. Just a serial number like DP.dougieb wrote:Apple's overpriced hardware and draconian DRM are a constant problem.

Re: Sux
You do know that Microsoft is coming out with it's own music DAW, right? And you do know what tends to happen when Microsoft combines their own application software with Windows, right?devdotcom wrote:From a business standpoint, MOTU would make a lot more money if they hada Windows version.

The speculation I've heard is Cakewalk.dougieb wrote:LOL... maybe Microsoft will buy MOTU and discontinue the OSX version (LOL)
Only Logic Pro. That's a legacy from e-Magic. Apple has not done the same thing with their other pro apps.dougieb wrote:Draconian DRM... see LOGIC - also, see iTunes.
As for iTunes, the DRM there is far less draconian than Windows Media. At least with iTunes you can backup the music store songs as AIFF files. Not to defend DRM, but the term "draconian" is a bit strong dontcha think?
