Music Keyboard that runs XP

Open Labs showed a music keyboard running XP Pro on standard computer parts at NAMM - the NEKO.

“NEKO 64™ is so versatile it can virtually run any plugin or application designed for the Windows XP operating system including products from Steinberg, Native Instruments, Synapse Audio, IK Multimedia and many others!“

Hmmm... so it's a pro quality keyboard blended with a buffed out dual Opteron system, comes with the .NET Framework installed and supports DirectX... mind races...

Top end model is $8445, but the low end ones are mid-2K range (looks like that's the “bring your own monitor, computer keyboard, etc.“ model).

Prizes to the first picture of one of these running The Regulator, SharpReader, or Snippet Compiler.
