Somebody needs to send Aphex Twin an email and let him know about that, he's been using PC's running windows on stage for years.
When you control the environment and use a PC for one task it's stable. Uber picky TV networks that frown and scoff on NewTek's VIDEO TOASTER AMIGA legacy are using the Tricaster and love it due to it's stability. The reason it's stable is becuase it's a controlled Windows environment combined with stable tested hardware used for just one task.
If you install other 3rd party software you void the warranty.
And yes I prefer the Amiga and all that good stuff but I think a lot of folks make comments here yet how many have used the PC or heck Amiga to pay the rent?
