Such proprietary software cases, I've personally encountered with

value for signal-chaining instruments, recording purposes and such --
I might have take it to the latest Microsoft OS installs.

Fresh. No kidding monkey-business. When a 3rd-party hardware
manufacturer places its latest chip-driven soundFx wonders, the

Equality. Which they're not, other than presumably not waiving your
right to consumer protection laws for products, after testing and
evaluating, on your time, to a reasonable expectation and claim of
unmarketable sustainability, for "your money back".

Time's up. Once up and running on the OS platform, clock begins
ticking down on whether that product is all of what they said you
could possibly think it would be. (Unless its a movie that caused
your brain to become sick, and you can't get your money back. Or
software, depending, in some cases on how contractual agreements are
initially presented for your perusal.)
