    Re: The Torben Ballegaard Sørensen Interview..

    I think what TBS meant about Windows being a more "stable" platform referred to the annoying fact that Windows has about a 93.00 share of the desktop computer market.  I don't think he was referring to the software's actual operating characteristics.  Although I don't care for Windows very much, hardly at all, in business and many areas of computers it's almost impossible to avoid it as a software operating system, but that's what one gets when a true monopoly exists without being challenged.  A number of years ago the US Department of Justice tried, but when elections brought a new administration, the antitrust case was ceremoniously abandoned, despite what others may believe.  The antitrust case appears to have turned out differently in the European Union though, which might provide some balance of power measure sorely needed in the desktop software market.

    Given that, thanks for posting the interview.  It was very interesting, informative and insightful to know where the captain of the ship would like to sail!  Thank you.

    I don't care for Windows either but I accept that B&O will be doing most future development on the Windows platform.  I like iTunes and Macs. I have been ripping music and sometimes adding video using iTunes to a 2 terabyte ethernet hard disk.  I use an Airport Express connected to a high quality DAC which in turn is connected to the Aux port on a Beocenter 2.  It works well and sounds wonderful.

    I have a Beomedia 1 and have tried to use it for digital music but it was too cumbersome.  I do like the n.radio function for internet radio and will continue to use it for internet radio.  TBS said that B&O will be more software oriented.  I hope he means that B&O will do much better than they have in the past.

    For future audio and video products, B&O may well consider that not everyone will use their digital offerings.  They should have more HDMI and Aux connections.
