Well, there is Garritan's solo Strad library, which is pretty good,
as far as sampled solo string instruments go.
<http://www.garritan.com/stradivari.html>
Of course, it requires impressive playing/programming to be heard to
best effect (same as the JABB saxophones), and even given that, the
library is not going to fool anyone here. (And thank god for that --
otherwise, we'd all work even less than we already do!)
Expecting expressive, individualistic, soloistic playback from a
sequencer -- let alone a notation program -- is a mite unrealistic at
this point.
Cheers,

Seems like a parallel situation to me, and I wonder if there are
significantly better solo string samples. I'm not looking to get
into a war about whose are the best - just curious to know if this
kind of thing has been solved to a greater degree in string samples
than saxophone samples, and I still want to hear musicians playing
the instruments I have come to love.
(Though, sometimes the machine's rhythmic stability is nice :-)
