Just my 2 euro cents about the OS...

So..there seem that you prefer the system under Windows OS as the Linux?

maybe you still don't have understand how much is complex the MS OS, for running in realtime so many application and give you on pannel the all ready features.
Of course, more new features we include, more new bugs come out, this is normally for any type of application.

Here is NOT to RUN just one application, like a DAW SEQ, look how MANY years of developement work have Locig, Cubase, Nuendo..I think are more than 10-15 years...and still they can have bugs.

Same is for windows OS...now you have the new windows 7...but how you can be sure that is full BUGS FREE? For sure they wil fix too..

How I told many time before, I have also the windows driver for the MS front pannel and Audio card Envy24 too.

I can install the windows OS and running ANY windows application, same as the Open Labs.

Why I will not release it??
For this SIMPLE issue: http://forum.openlabs.com/index.php?showtopic=1569

( When I open Reaper each and every time the following message pops up:

"The following MIDI inputs could not be opened:
Presonus firebox Midi In"

The consecuense of it that I cannot record because reaper tells me:
"cant record: no tracks armed for recording"
Please help me guys, Its my 2nd day with the neko and this is frustrating...)
the reply there:
That appears when you have two MIDI programs open at once. Maybe Riff was already open when you launched REAPER. Close all programs then open REAPER.

So... do you like have a OPEN system that allow you to RUN ONLY one application at time?
Do not forget also the same issue with the ASIO, only 1 ASIO host at time.
it mean: run and play Reaper, BUT you can NOT use then some sound manager like RIFF, Forte...
You have always to Open-Quit application for use the all Host applications...
Just look the recorder Open Labs video demos, 90% of the time, they have to touch the display, PC keyb, trackball..they play one sounds for some seconds and then spends minute for the navigation/setups..

It is this the system that you are looking for?

About Karma: really one AMAZING application!
The problem is that is only a MIDI Seq with logical arpeggiator. For make really working right, need the all correct and preloaded soundfonts/vst.
Karma have nothing to do with the Arranger system and is not a DAW recorder that you can record audio tracks.
Really amazing application, but how many of you are ready to use it for develope new pattern system?
To many there are NOT able to record some chords on one standard SEQ...Karma is NOT a toys, is a really Complex system, for professional user.

Anyway, said that....I really like to know if you prefer one windows keyboard system or some like the Linux embedded system..
Who want, I can release also the windows driver for the all new products too, then you can choose what to install and remap.

here one example for understand what I mean about multiple Asio/Midi hosts:
