I agree, and was thinking something similar... but I was 
also in a little amazement at how many people were 
responding to this little 'toy.'

Like it or not, musicians are dominated by this sort of 
externalism -- especially with respect to technology.  In 
that respect, I'm finding that how it looks and feels means 
as much (or more to them) than how it /sounds/.

So, a little bit of this sort of PR for linux audio would be 
a Good Thing, IMHO.
