ouch businessmen ;)
so what is a _real_ market ? the one that microsoft controls ?
and because microsoft and this 'different' computer[0] company that
m$ owns don't do free (as in speech) stuff ... fine
Perhaps it's here already. I think there's
more of us RME or M-Audio
customers than one might think.
I can only speak for my uni and a couple of electronic music/media art
institutions and labs that bought rme products (and that's getting a
couple of not so cheap devices) precisely _because_ there are linux
drivers (and linux is not at all uncommon in this scene).
