[sdiy] Audio Weaver for ST Discovery boards -Free!

[Andrew Simper]

I'm doing software development mainly on Mac, so I know the deal! With
engineering apps that were written on Windows first and they added Mac
later I've found on the whole the Mac version lags behind in terms of
reliability and functionality and it takes a long time to catch up,
and that's if it actual gets ported, some are still only Windows.
Slowly things are improving with more vendors adopting proper cross
platform development either using QT or Juce or some similar framework
(or writing their own), but still it's definitely not simply a matter
of choosing Mac or Win and everything is equal, so having a Windows
boot disk is still very useful.

The same can be said of apps that started native on Mac and now have a
Win version. This is the case with my audio plugins, the Mac side just
naturally gets more attention since it's my main development platform.
