One would think so. Although since MACH3 isn't really supported anymore since it doesn't earn income I can see that the MACH people are more interested in flogging their "call home software for licence" MACH4. The potential market as WIN-XP systems die, for a straight across port to LinuxCNC, seems to me to be really large. And in fact, I'd take a guess that if someone cloned the MACH3 user interface so it had the look and feel of MACH3 but ran with a newer PC and say that 7192 there'd be a fair number of people that would change. But I don’t think it would happen instantly. I know of at least 10 people who are running MACH3. Perfectly happy with it. See no reason for a new learning curve as opposed to making chips. But once their PC dies and they have trouble getting WIN-XP to run on new hardware. It's a different story.
