All this challenging the concept of native software is funny and all, but not more than that. Anyone who isn't a moron can get a PC proper for audio work. A "lottery"? Here's a recipe: some new Gigabyte motherboard, some amd or intel processor, some ram, fanless graphics card, hard drive/s and that's it, the only thing you need to check to avoid DPC issues is the graphics card (crappy driver handling of dynamic mhz switching, etc., adjust/choose appropriately), and whadya know, you have a machine dozens of times more powerful than outdated "DSP hardware", that will be able to run many more instances of Duende plugins. How wonderful, life is good. Really, it is.

Anyway, I like some "DSP hardware" bound plugins but never got any card because I despise SSL's, TC's, UAD's, CreamWare's, etc.'s idiotic persistence of using those shitty platforms. If SSL is smart enough to stop this crap, great.
