Gang,
Look, XP is loved by many, but not by me. It was significantly better than the ones before it but it lacks so much compared to Vista&7 that it just does not make a good Audio Product.
I have been told time and again all the stuff that changed between XP and Vista and I keep telling everyone to upgrade to 7 but people don't like change. Well that and they are worried that everything goes to hell... which it usually does. The tasking, audio stack, USB, PCI/PCIe, almost everything in Vista/7 was upgraded to make audio better. Too bad they missed such simple things like 88.2/176.4 (even though I told them about this 5 years ago), Class 2 USB Audio and other stuff.
You also need to realize a thing about drivers. One nice thing about Apple is your drivers are always up to date. In Windows you have to constantly look around and see if something has been improved. It can make or break your system.
Thanks
