I agree that Windows should stay in a PC. So what I described IS as PC. A PC in the shape of an arranger keyboard. A musical home entertainment center that can be used as a PC and as a musical instrument.

I'm not a personal fan of Bill Gates but the reality is that Windows is the standard for PC's and thanks to the fact that there is a standard you get your moneys worth when you by a PC. You may not have noticed it but you have been paying way to much for keyboards. If you compare what you get in a keyboard with PC's it is 20 years behind. Take a keyboard between $1000 and $1500. Look at the display and compare it with a PC. Where is the hard drive? 64 Kb internal memory versus 512 MB in a cheaper PC.

All the projects described before seem to have been experiments by people who didn't have the budget to do it right. I expect a firm like Sony or Dell to launch this product. They have the marketing and production power to get the right product in all the shops for the right price.
