The Paint Audio CE-1 is Windows-based, and the Neural DSP Quad Cortex (its CorOS) is GNU/Linux-based. I think that Linux just lends itself much better to a ‘smooth’ UI. It is the OS behind Android after all. Also, Linux is open source, so it can be customized (hence CorOS which is really NeuralDSP’s ‘distribution’ of Linux) whereas Windows is closed source and not really open for direct customization at the code level. I think it’s just a better kernel and better software development on the part of the Linux operating system.
