I hope you mean that the software is
not relatively inexpensive, and not
not the best in the industry. Our software is definitely not inexpensive, mainly because it's done right. What's the difference between a $20 USB-to-Serial converter and National Instruments $150 USB-to-Serial converter? Ours actually
works when it's supposed to. As far as drivers go, I'd say we produce the best in the business, and they're free. As far as LabVIEW, TestSTAND, MeasurementStudio, etc... products are concerned, you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for what they're designed for.

LabVIEW was originally designed to run on the Mac because Windows didn't have the graphics engine required to use LabVIEW. If NI had anything to do with the Windows name, this is the first I'm hearing of it...
