Is There Any Creamware-user In The Room?, F.Hund announcement Options

[melenko]

hello,
after the recent news received from F.Hund,
how do you feel?
what would you do?
buy a Noah, move to another souncard?
SFP is a very smart concept,including a complete virtual studio
except the sequencer, but with some very good synths and effects!
and...converters!
i'm using a pulsar 2 running under os9.2.2 on a g4 bi-pro 1ghz,
and i love this card, but what's the future?
carrying out the developpement of an osx support "is not a priority"!
gosh!!
we,the mac-users, are we so weak?
our market does interest Motu,M-audio,Digidesign, and so on...
i'm really disappointed by what i read.
do you have any feeling about?
thanks for any anxwer

thanks for your answers,
and in a certain way, you're both rigt.
but even if the mac-users market is a smaller one,
it seems to me representing different customers behaviour.
and don't forget it's also a pro market, and semi-pro too.
osx is recognized as a great os, so unstepping on that
train could be a strategical error.
anyway,cw-users on mac os9 don't have access to
the newest and well developped softwares, take a look
to the virtual instruments that sound very good, today,
and all the plugs.
if you at the time are well equipped,it is not everyone's
case,and second, leaving cw is difficult,and will generate
some extra-costs.
all the mac-users won't buy a g5 , now, it will take some time.
so,if cw was already developping the compatibility with osx,
and it seems they have worked hard on it,
why do they stop?
anyway,it is maybe a lost battle for a lost cause,who knows?
