Well that certainly says something about the "average" music. So someone

who is not happy to sound like their tools want them to has to learn

something more... or be un-happy. I know such a musician, they have a mac

and a sound interface, not sure what audio apps, but they do have the

money to buy whatever (paint houses by day). They don't use the computer

to do music. The stuff sits there, yet he uses it all the time to create

graphics.
I think there is a difference between the average user and the average

musician. There are enough users around who want to make music that keep

the win/OSX SW going and selling.
I think there are a lot of musicians who don't use computers because of

win/osx software.
