Hi Dave :) it's a question because of the thoughts about what people nowadays expect from a studio in the box, something what 64 Studio is also for. If many people will use Vista for Windows, than many people will have computers, that comply with the requirements for a Linux running KWin/KDE, while using Linux audio applications. I guess that GNOME was a good choice for 64 Studio 2.1, because it's a DE that won't force people to read manuals or just to radically change their habits, if they know Fluxbox, KDE, Win 98se or Win XP, they easyly can work with GNOME. While companies for proprietary stuff do market research, because they will make money, they not only will manipulate the customers, they also will satisfy real needs for professional audio studios and homerecording people. Apple and Microsoft should be enemies, but it would be clever not to ignore the needs of non-computer-freaks, that are just users. The users aren't enemies, even if many from the Linux community treat "stupid users" like enemies. You misunderstood my question and you are right, if I would know for myself what Windows I should run, I should and I would ask this where people might be, that have more experiences with Windows. I'm thinking about, what would be the best way, that Linux audio should go. Maybe it should be for people with the interest to know a lot about the OS they use, for people with unusual habits and needs for audio work and perhaps it should be for people having classical habits, when working with audio and some of them might not be interested in how the OS they use, will work. What should be the WM/DE for 64 Studio > version 3.0? The better question is, what MacOS and what Windows do producers for audio use and what are the reasons for that? Followed by the question, are there some points that should Linux also do the way a MacOS or Windows does? That was the intention of my request. It would be much easier for me in German to point out what I'm thinking of. Cheers, Ralf
