Yes, I see. Still, I didn't read Michael's post that way, I read it more as asking whether anybody has made any progress and implying Michael himself had at least had some results using compatibility drivers (which I think is news?).

I think that even asking why something hasn't been fixed yet (though probably not in those exact words) can be a constructive thing and need not be a "complaint". For example; I have been asking from time to time why Philippe's results in getting a ASIO build haven't yet been merged into the main Windows version. To me that's not a complaint as such, there may be good reasons, for example for a long time there was no suitable test system at Princeton, there could be a lack of time.

I think that in many cases figuring out where exactly we are stuck can lead to people helping to move things forward. In the case of ASIO there was a set of tests done with a relatively wide variety of ASIO-enabled soundcards, I don't think those tests would've been done as publicly and in that way if Ge hadn't pointed out ASIO was stuck partially because of a lack of testing systems. With Ge's move to Stanford this could have changed, we'll never know if nobody asks and if there are no requests it may be harder to place priorities.

Because of this I didn't feel it was benefitial to describe this post as a "complaint"; I think we are all grateful for what *has* been done by those generously donating their time. Michael's post itself didn't strike me as particularly demanding (for lack of a better word) but I can see how the subject title could give that impression.
