"Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation"
To a DAW? Confusing!!!
This is why, like a good technical writer, the first time I used it in
that message, I wrote out the expansion of the acronym: "Digital audio
workstation (DAW)" - just because I thought person to whom I was
replying didn't know "DAW."
That is GREAT!! I LIKE that thought process.
See, most call Digital Audio Software a Workstation.
Sort of like saying Photoshop is a Workstation, but they don't.
GRANTED, before AUDIO, most DAW was MIDI and that was it. THERE, I might think of it as a workstation, with (music) keyboard and other gadgets.
