well, that's what is out there and time marches on. i'm sure it will

Yes, I'm sure Vista may be useful in, say.. 1-1½ years time, whin we've
seen the first one or two service packs, and how many things they fixed.


I propose to migrate to Linux (or Mac?) by the time WinXP
support ends.


Good luck with that :-) Let us all know how that works for ya :-)

Been into Linux for some ten years. Fine for serveruse, fine for the
desktop, provided one is good at unix. The latter couple of years has
revealed a few distros which can actually be used by non-techies.

But... as a misic recordong/production platform...
Lotsa work getting intimately familiar with alsa, integrating alsa nas
stuff like jackd, not to speak about no professional music apps.
Drivers for (semi) pro soundcards? Well, a few, like RME.

Even being very well into several Linux distros and other unix, it was
an easy job deciding to go for OSX. Just shopped a used dual G4..
