So you'd have something that is "work similar" to the current Power SDR, but with a Windows user interface (including the audio) on the front of a multiplatform radio backend (which would have platform dependent hardware abstraction layers). I assume that Flex would be doing the "heavy lifting" of ensuring that the HAL is defined and works for the Windows platforms and implementing the windows centric UI that talks to the radio backend, as well as devising an installation method that is reasonably smooth and seamless, at least for a basic configuration. At least initially, then, the "user experience" would be comparable to the current PowerSDR. Sounds interesting.
