I had seen a screenshot or two before, but I think the point I was making is that new screenshots of this kind can be useful to show to people who are only familiar with proprietary software, and therefore take incompatibility for granted. To give an example, a few years ago it was not possible to use a Mac format floppy disc in a standard Windows machine (I don't know if that's still the case). The Windows machine would give the impression that the floppy was not formatted at all, and would prompt you to reformat and destroy your data. But if the Windows machine dual-booted with Linux, you could read the exact same Mac floppy on the same PC hardware, and copy over your Mac files to the Windows partition. Now to you and me, who know what a filesystem is, that's handy but not a big deal. But to the Mac or Windows user who doesn't know, this is nothing short of miraculous - as if a natural law had been defied. The same would apply to an easy to use VSTi host that works on a Linux box - because VST/VSTi users know that when you change platform, or go from OS 9 to OS X, you have to buy new versions of the plugins you already have.
