I agree with your logic, but it sounds very un-trivial in terms of what I think might be required to do the things you mentioned. Dave would know much more about that however. To move projects to/from the Digi world for instance might be daunting, I'd suspect difficult in some other "worlds" too.
But as a concept, yeah, that would be terrific-- though you'd be limited to 4 hardware outs in the MTU world, I think.
About your Norton thing: Finally those folks have a tool you can download (Norton Removal Tool). You can search for it at the Symantec site. It helps. However, it doesn't always remove everything though it claims that it will. After having huge problems with some Norton stuff a few years back and getting endless junk from what they call "support" (nearly all of which did not apply to the problems I'd run into), I really gave up on anything Norton, except Ghost (v9 for XP and now v12 for Vista) and Partition Magic which they bought.
As a rule except when no other possible way, I won't let the audio machines go on-line. With your networked approach, I wonder if you do the same thing? I often don't even set up Internet access on 'em.
But for general use on other machines, I've found the ZoneAlarm free firewall works well, and Spysweeper with anti-virus seems to do a good job too, though it adds some overhead for sure. I also use V-Com's Fix-It Utilities which has a different type of virus and spyware scanning in it, though I mostly use it for fixing problems and cleaning up the registry etc. And Ghost, of course. Fix-it and Ghost have really saved me a few times when stuff got real weird on some systems.
Hope it helps you.
