I can't understand why the people at Millumin don't want a windows/linux version. As I see it Millumin has the potential to rival media servers like Dataton Watchout but miss out on a big piece of the market because of the OS-choice.
Could you imagine running the software on a rackmounted pc with a graphics card to match? Sure you can argue that you can use the Mac Pro, but nobody in the professional AV-industry takes it serious as it lacks upgradeability and having 10 dongles sticking out of it doesn't really soothe the operator as one can come unplugged if somebody passes by...
You can also argue that a hackintosh is another option, sure... But not everybody wants to go through the work and apple is not going to jump to aid if you have any problems with your hackintosh running millumin...
If you look at the rise of Resolume Arena (I know it's a vj-software...) the last couple of years, it's not hard to imagine the same happening to Millumin. Even they admit on the site that it runs better on pc's!
I'm not going to say how to run the company, but I guess you could hire people to develop a windows or linux version, I'm sure it will pay itself in the long run!
I must say I enjoy your software though, but I see a lot of techs/operators in the AV-industry ignoring it because of this fact!
