Well.. what did I say about Guider program was I was considering converting it (after necessary modifications and adding necessary functionality, whatever that may be) into embedded application for the existing processor which controls the CCD chip.
So I do not really see any controversy nor inconsistency here..
General interaction with the guider is of course necessary... After all, it needs pointing, at least :-)
Being the practical person, I only want to simplify the procedure of taking astro photographs, by avoiding current and all future problems with various OS's and compatibilities with drivers and cameras and who knows what.
No, I do not like PC's in the field .. not too much, that is, only as much as it is absolutely necessary :-) I do not want to play with it in the field and in the dark, what I want is to take the photos of stars... in the simplest possible way (according to what I want to capture, of course).
If the PC (and Microsoft etc) is the only answer, so be it...
All the best :-)
