I’ve thought long and hard before posting this as a feature request, but these are my reasons:

1. There is now a competitor in the Linux arena which is taking the XP refugees
2. Cubase is already cross-platform
3. Windows turning into a mobile phone
4. The high price of Cubase is more attractive if there is no cost for the OS
5. More and more soundcards have solid Linux drivers
6. Live distros means Cubase could boot from a USB stick

… the list could go on. I could even conceive of a USB device that would incorporate soundcard, eLicenser and storage with an optimized Linux, all in single device, that would eliminate a lot of the variables people encounter with general purpose computers.
