That's the blog post that I read.

It's got way too many problems I bet. I'll let you guys know if Wine works.

when I installed CMA on my XP comp it told me to install WMP 11 first

so that might be a problem on WINE

I'm confused .. your sig states you have a Windows 7 PC. You can't use CMA with that? I have a dedicated Ubuntu OS on my laptop, but I have to use WIndows XP via virtualbox to use the Open CMA program.

1. wine doesnt support usb
2. open idea cma is not released yet
3. sony is a d*ck sucker for supporting their rival companies
that said, you just have to stick with windows or use a ps3 until open idea cma is released

Oh yeah, I have a Windows 7 based PC but prefer Ubuntu which has most of my information there via a virtual machine so I'd prefer to use that instead of Windows if possible. But it seems that I'll just have to keep using Windows until a version comes out for us to use on Linux.

That is crazy that Sony would develop a product for Microsoft after they do compete with one another via consoles but...Sony computers come standard with Microsoft Windows so they're competitors in some areas and not in others.

I could understand the windows part, but mac? wtf? anyways if you like ubuntu you should install it in a partiotion, virtual machines limit the system and slow them down, and if windows ever fails, the virtual machine will fail. the other way (partition) if one OS fails you still have the otherone.

I'd love to do that instead but:
-for some reason, my computer starts up with a blank screen (monitor (monitor on laptop) works but the screen goes blank until computer is rebooted or if correct code is typed) and getting rid of the leftovers was a pain in the butt when Ubuntu wouldn't install correctly.
-I like being able to switch between both OSes when I'd like and have an easy way of transferring information between the two with the click of a button or a few keystrokes
-Ubuntu runs very fast on 1GB of shared RAM which is fine for me and my computer has 4GB so it still runs just as fast. I like the virtualization too because I can change up my hard drive size much more easily.
-I have tried Ubuntu installed in a dual boot on other computers and these were the pluses that I saw between the two.

But thanks for the suggestion. If I could find a fix for the monitor going out, I probably would've went ahead and installed it alongside but this works just as well. I'm much more careful with Windows than before and try to backup the system as often as I can as well as take other precautions.

Yeah, choosing Mac was a bit weird too. After reading some posts, it seems like it took them a little longer to create the Mac version though. I would think it'd be easier to make the application for Linux based systems than Macintosh but I'm not a developer so I wouldn't really know.
