I've used Energy under Windows and it's a fairly decent piece of software
for the money. The drum track is a unique feature that allows setting up
grooves quickly for ad-hoc composing. I've never tried Linux but from what
I understand it's quite difficult to get it running with low latency.
Currently I am using Nuendo 3 although I am starting to get into Reaper
which also works with Linux but through an emulator of sorts.
Both are run under Windows XP because I had a terrible experience with
Vista and ended downgrading my system back to Windows XP. It's my opinion
that Vista is a terrible choice for a digital audio workstation. Some of
the Sonar users have had luck with Vista, but most people I deal with are
staying with Windows XP or are planning to move to Apple products.

Garritan is a major player with their Bigband and Steinway products.
I use both and have had good results with them.

I have no idea what those programs are or do.
I would like to see Linux version's of Nuendo and Reaper.
