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.
