I remember a while back one of the developers (Chris?) had gotten Rosegarden to compile on OS X. I don't think the effort got any further than that. BTW, MixBus (a commercial version of Ardour 2.8) now runs on Windows, and uses a bundled version of jackd (which has been available on Windows for a while now). I think the biggest requirement a Windows version of any free audio software will have is the ability to load VST instrument and FX plugins. -- Brett W.
