On the other hand if you think of a laptop running kore as pretty much a hardware synth then it's probably got a good 5 years left in it without any support from NI.  I find it hard to believe that many kore users have exhausted all the options of the system as it stands.

Yeah, but my synths are from the late 90s. The maintenance that was 
required so far was changing the backup battery in both. And I'm sure 
that around 2020 to 2025, when the batteries run empty again, they will 
still work as well as they do today.
