Hmm... Does this mean we are actually going to see the Axe-PC being launched at some point?
The Axe would probably function as a hardware based VST/AU effect with an Axe-Edit like interface allowing your DAW to automate the Axe. The VST/AU would probably allow routing audio to the Axe for processing & re-amping which would make it much easier to use the Axe with another audio interface on Windows. This is a great approach as it offloads a lot of processing from your PC/Mac.
The Axe can already send/receive audio and midi messages over USB, so it would be wrapping that functionality into an VST/AU. Axe-Edit appears to use JUCE so we could probably expect to see it's GUI, or something similar, used in the VST/AU (JUCE rocks!!!).
Given that I was programming ISA cards full of Texas Instruments DSP chips, plugged into 386 and 486 machines 20 years ago, it would be perfectly possible to get PCIe cards with the Tigersharc on , and run them in a PC for guys like me who want a home studio FX2, and already have IO covered. More attactive to me than just slaving the FX2 through the USB cable

That would be really cool.
You could do a lower tier with two SHARC processors and an upper tier with 4 SHARCs and make it compatible with all the popular PC and Mac DAWs.
Then release a series of jaw dropping plugins for it!

Doesn't sound PC specific as the posting lists "VST/AU" and JUCE (cross platform development library).
Funny, a Mac is more like a pc hardware wise and a pc is more like a Mac software wise
Except Mac software works - at least the OS - which is the most important part.
