Problem is that's not how marketing works and you're perfect DAW would most likely sell poorly.

yeah - I have often thought they could do well in the windows market - I guess there is either a strange ideological issue or they don't have the coding skills to make it worth while.

Another example is five12 with Numerology - if that had been released on Windows a few years back they would have made some good money.

I would buy Apple and then make all their music software PC only.

they pay little to no tax anywhere in the world- the US tax system is set up to allow this.

a billion is a thousand million
so a trillion is a thousand billion or one million million

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...

A billion dollars...

A hundred billion dollars...

Eight hundred billion dollars...

One TRILLION dollars...

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.

While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...

And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...

Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?

I'm sure that money would serve as very good R&D money. Imagine all the synthesizers and gear they could buy to reverse engineer..

if you had 10 million, you could buy all the original gear

Have they enshrined Steve Job's office at Apple? Because if so, I'd buy Apple, then take a steaming dump on his desk.

That $1T is not money you'll ever see in one place. Market value, what is it worth. If tomorrow on the news they say Apple users live 5 years shorter, it's instantly worth nothing again.

What music software company would you buy?
