But you are being naive Matt! Nobody claims that OSX is hard-RT, or
even that OS9 is hard-RT, but people are able to Get Work Done on
those systems without jumping through hoops or arguing with kernel
developers. This happens because (a) the OS is enough-RT and (b) the
developers in question accepted the requirements of DAW and sequencer
users as totally legitimate.

As I stated before, we already *have* Linux kernels whose performance
in the RT area is at least as good as OSX (thanks to Andrew and Ingo,
primarily), but users cannot access these facilities without doing a
song and dance and a download or two. This is the issue that requires
fixing, from our perspective.
