NAMM and new super DSP cards

Does anyone know if we can expect any new super fast high capacity DSP cards similar to UAD1 or Powercore to be introduced at the 2007 NAMM?

I'm hoping a new Korg OASYS card comes into existence. I know that there is an older card but it doesn't work on newer operating systems because they won't write drivers for the card, I have a feeling Korg thinks us indie musicians are a bunch of 
and so going by that I guess they're just 
at us guys here in KVRland, not giving a rat's shrivelled putrified ass about us. Oh well, there's always Tassman which is phenomenal in itself, and of course whatever else might be on the horizon which could be even better.
But ah, such is life, and I guess this Korg OASYS PCI issue isn't a problem for those who still use the old Win98/ME. It's such a wonderful synth, so many possibilities, but all thrown...erhm...*cough* away 'cuz *cough cough* they don't give a *cough* f#$% *cough cough* about supporting it. How hard would it be to write drivers for WinXP ? They've already got Win98/SE drivers. So I'm sure it can't be that hard for them to revise the code and change a few core modules to suit the operating system.
Ah, I forgot, they've got that new OASYS keyboard workstation. Hmmmm, but the keyboard workstation doesn't do the physical modelling of the PCI card. Hmmmm. Maybe they're hiving that off for a future OASYS workstation upgrade like the STR plucked synth? My guess is yes, absolutely, and HOT DAMN THAT SUCKS!!!

maybe you shouldn't look for new DSP card, but rather fairlight CrystalCore FPGA based technology. It beats a huge number of DSPs on a singled card. they were at AES in september and I bet they'll be at NAMM too.

So when can we expect the DSP manufactures to adopt fairlight CrystalCore FPGA based technology or other high tech current technology? Why are they dragging their feet? 
I suspect just around the corner their is something very big going to happen. But I have been saying this for several years. Oh Well!
