Calling someone who uses Windows un-professional would be a "gossip" style phrase. This is a piece of software which can be tested and compared to others. Would Android be better then windows only because it is based on the Linux kernel or since it's based on the full engineering it was invested from the bottom up? So from my point of view on things: Windows is good Linux is good BSD is good Mac is good Others, good... But depends on what you need. If you need to work with a system that has a specific compatibility or usability levels then this is what you need. If it works for me it doesn't mean that it's either good or bad for me and others! I love Linux based systems but they all need some "magic hands" on them to convert them from Linux to "something better". So with this in mind: If you are a magician and Linux feels good for you it doesn't mean that everybody should be magicians!

Tell you what. Go over to http://line6.com/software/ - You convince them to produce a Linux version of the software for their musician's gear, and I'll get rid of the Toshiba laptop running Windows. Alternatively, find me an OSX laptop that costs anywhere near the $400 I paid for the Toshiba Satellite. (And yes, I already tried running their software in a VM, neither VirtualBox or VMWare does a good enough job of emulating MIDI-over-USB2 to let the drivers in the VM connect to my Pod HD, so don't bother suggesting that). You want to repeat your claim that I'm an unprofessional, unethical moron because I have a fully patched Windows 10 laptop that's backed up on a regular basis because there's no realistic alternative?
