I had a bit of a read about INDI vs ASCOM and there are a lot of arguments about ASCOM being a legacy item due to the "programming language" and "Windows bits" used (all this stuff is far above my pay grade, so please don't shoot the messenger). INDI uses more modern cross platform techniques. Thoughts?

Yeah someone had a bit of a dummy spit but I think it was more aimed indirectly towards the PixInsight (lack of) documentation.

Windows doesn't seem to be supported 100% yet from what I've read. Installing a VM to run Linux is another complication and possible cost. I don't know about any free VM client. VM ware is very good but does come at a price and the yearly licence is expensive, quite like MAXIM-DL. I reckon might wait a little bit once the dust settles. This is early days still.
