It's the Sony Media ex-Sonic Foundry apps for audio (and video too but
that's not particularly important to me) that unfortunately use .NET.
I have had several conversations with them about doing a Linux port
and the answer is a resolute "not interested". I expect that
eventually MONO will get to the point where these apps (Acid Pro v6,
Sound Forge v9, CD Architect v5.2, assorted VST and Direct X plugin
devices) will run, and then will run decently, but until then if I can
make them work on a virtual Win2K I'll be quite OK with that, since
those are the only apps forcing me to keep a Windows XP machine alive.

Well..that's not quite true. My preferred (by a country mile) audio
editor is Adobe Audition -- which used to be called Cool Edit Pro back
when Syntrillium owned it -- a *much* better and much hipper name. I
haven't bothered to even look into whether it exists in the *nix world
because I could after some tears live without it and use Sound Forge
(if available) or even something else if push came to shove.
