I fully agree on those but we must admit that in those 100 people , how many have really a tru optimised hardware ....
Each update of osx is a headcahe on mac , and pc's are, if you don't have the knowledge , a lottery !!
I have actually for my mobile setup , an hp 8710W (T7700 , FX1600M) dpc latency 35us, fireface 400 plugged ,duende mini on a belkin TI pcmcia...simply rock solid ...
Need a new beast now , and guess what it's been 3 months of expectise and basically i expect 3 more months testing DPC latency , ports , drivers (in one word : integration), (asking people on forums to do this , test this and all , and none of them understand a god damn thing what is nvidia powermizer and all ... )and all the options(mbp , dell precision , hp elitebook, Lenovo...) cost more than 2000 euros ....
And i can tell you that i ghave some emails fom people asking why the duende doesn't work on their 500 euros laptop while surfing on the web , msn , and norton runnin !! (just to give an image !!)
Of course some have great systems but a lot of them don't ....
So i ++++ on what you said , we need standard in plugins , dsp's ...but more than that on Computers DAW certified !!
I'm missing my vaio VGN BX 197XP with its 3us of dpc latency !!!! the more time is running the worst it's getting (testing time : ridiculous, validation process : joke , built quality : let me check wallstreet , nop !! let's put somecrap in, Developpement : let me check what's on the market , ok let's make the same but a little better ....oh wait i think it's captitalism right ?
So much pressure on company that's it's like disney land now, just ridiculous (no ssl Dissing here at all , i'm dissing the game , not the long time player!)
Too much to worry about in the real life , for waisting time on our toyz guyz
