My big concern on any PC-based instrument would be future support.

Before I would buy such an instrument I'd have to be sure that I had  
full documentation of any over-the-wire protocols so that even if the  
instrument were orphaned I could write my own software.

For that matter, having the sources for a library that supported the  
full protocol set would be a very good thing.

Better yet would be to have such a library as well as sources for the  
PC end.

As would be support for something beyond Windows/x86, though I  
suppose I could take Linux off a laptop if I could find its bundled  
Windows disks.
