Yep...however the smart ones look for ways to both incrementally
increase revenue, and then also to create revolutionary changes. I
keep thinking that one of these days Digi will come out with a closed
system that is Linux based and includes the PC itself. Incrementally
it wouldn't cost them all that much to add a PC to some unit like the
002 Rack. Most users would use external audio drives so internal
storage requiremments aren't that high. They'd have control of the OS
and it would be stable.
For the last 6 months PTLE users have been caught in a bind. No PTLE
versions run on XP Service Pack 2 so all PTLE systems have to stick
with a bad version of Windows that isn't getting updates. I'm scared
to do much on the net with my PTLE machine. I don't know why Digi
hasn't fixed this. I guess it's hard. The plugin vendors have told us
their plugins aren't stable on SP2 either, so it's a mess.
Same on the OSX world, AFAIK, PT does not run on the latest versions.

1) second the
validity of your statements regarding OS representation
(LAU is a pretty insular community, sometimes it feels bigger than it
is)
Sadly it's exactly the opposite.
