"If I want to read and get an informed opinion about Windows 8, it probably wouldn't be on this forum." That statement exemplifies the self perpetuating trend in this forum.
Jose is one of those guys who used to be here all the time sharing info with us.
He knows digital audio inside and out, has designed digital audio hardware, written lots of code and stays up to date on OS dev. I regret having witnessed him drift away after becoming disillusioned with the go-team, no questions asked attitude that has evolved here. I still have a lot of stuff to learn from him.
Back in the hey day there were a couple dozen guys of his caliber that discussed stuff here because they thought SONAR was the coolest and that made this forum one of the most distinctive places on the entire internet. It was a central clearing house for learning about DAW... it was way way more exacting and pertinent than the WTFV book reports that serve as peer to peer help here these days.
Now it seems, few people even recognize who it was that was making a comment.
Times, they are a changing.
best,
