Frankie,

There wouldn't be any restrictions in the lifetime at all. In the PC arranger you would be able to install new cards and drives and even switch the complete PC mainboard. Just like any other PC.

Hooking up a keyboard to a PC is what I've been doing for decades now. And I'm fat up with the inconveniounce of it.

I'm not getting into all the objections you have against Microsoft. That didn't stop me and a billion others from buying Windows based computers. And it won't stop us from buying a Windows based arranger keyboard if that means getting a lot more for less.

It is true that Windows/Intel is not specially made for musicians. But it wasn't made for home computers either and still they are in the homes. Being the standard is what counts.
