Take a look at Wersi OAS instruments, as they introduced the software upgradeable computer based OAS keyboards in 2000, original ones using OAS 2 and now all new instruments run OAS 7, with the updates for existing users due out shortly. (A more advanced jump in quality then the upgrade from OAS 4 to OAS 5, which itself was a major update and the coming of age of the OAS software)
The fact that Wersi instruments are now 5 years old, and still capable of being upgraded in to a virtually new instrument, proves that the software based keyboard (Which also now includes Korg oasis and Liontracs) is viable.
