Default Any alternative for Windows XP user who cant use ProTools

I can't support your claim.
I was a Mac/ProTools user for 10 years.

I switched to the PC/WinXP platform 2-3 years ago (initially it was WinMe
before XP came out).
WinXP works like a dream. I had not a single major problem since.
The Mac isn't always plain sailing as most people like to paint a picture
here. I had to know every trick in the book to maintain a working system
with ProTools/Mac.

I decided to go for Nuendo2 which is far superior to ProTools in my opinion.
Far less downtime, too. when they upgrade the software from V1 to V2 all
your existing plugins always work.
I can't say that of ProTools. Man, did I hate the wait for every single
plugin to be upgraded when ProTools got changed. It happened once too many
times for me. I quit.

Would I go back to the Mac. No.
I don't like Microsoft either, but hey, at the moment it works.

Nothing runs perfectly when it comes to XP. Microslop is too worried
about making money. Instead of working with an existing OS and
constantly improving on it, they release "new and improved" OS'es
whose stability is marginal. It takes time to tune an OS'es stability,
much more time than M$ is willing to put into it. Instead they
reinvent the wheel. Their philosophy: In the time it took us to
perfect XP, we could have created and released at least three new
OS'es... we lost billions! Shucks!
