Just look at how many posts I have on this topic, and not a single blink, or feedback from Steinberg to comfort us that they are working on HSO-2 and we will eventually have it in the near future.
I wonder why Steinberg does not reply, or provide any feedback on this.
ATTENTION STEINBERG : Can you please give us some feedback on HSO Status ? will you release HSO-2 in the near future ?
so, here I go again, asking the same question.
imho. if they decided to stop developing it, then fine, just say so. If HSO-2 is in development, then just confirm it, I will happily wait for HSO-2 to be released, and not bother posting anymore 
OH… and this post has as of today 8779 views, and counting … with no response from our friends at Steinberg.
