Apogee Digital kills Windows development
http://news.apogeedigital.com/
I was starting to get the feeling that Apogee was the "Filemaker" of audio meaning basically an Apple wholly owned subsidiary and this announcement only strengthens that hunch. I don't know how many wintel users are on Apogee but all I know is that this is pretty stunning to me. If I had doubted Apple's committment to the Pro Audio field yesterday all doubts have been erased.
This makes me feel like the next major Logic Studio revision will get even cozier with Apogee converters.
