How much would you charge to make a Linux version?

Why does the Kontakt team keep neglecting UX—starting with poor tagging capabilities?
Hello I wanted to touch base on the tagging feature handicap that has been mentioned in multiple threads over past few years without any comment from the Kontakt/KK product team, leaving us with tedious workarounds that do not work as we'd expect anyway: With thousands of presets being added each year by library developers…

Orchestral Essentials 2: Velocity problem
There is a velocity problem at Orchestral Essentials 2 with the preset Legato Flut.
