Comment Software Like this makes Linux viable. (Score 2) 227
It is software like this that makes Linux truly viable and usable. Especially in the eyes of the main stream media.
It's biggest competition is a $500 or more piece of software that will only run on an MS platform. This fits perfectly with "selling" the OS as a mainstream, desktop solution.
Think of it like this: MS develops apps that people will want to run. They spend money to create software and hardware that only works with it's OSs in order to stimulate the sales of that OS. People not wanting to spend alot of money on apps and software are going to LOVE this Linux based solution.
Now if the higher end video capture and DV editing cards came with support for linux... My Canopus DV Rex M1 simply won't work under linux... yet...
