The problem is sheer volume. There are a billion Windows machines in
the world. How many really need to use USB Audio 2 devices right now?
Maybe 1,000? Maybe 10,000? 999,990,000 out of a billion is 100%, to
four significant digits.
That's the problem Microsoft faces. They need to make sure all of the
corporate secretaries in the world can listen to Michael Bolton through
iTunes. 16-channel 192 kHz audio is cool, but there just isn't
widespread business demand for it yet.
