The main thing is that the M box uses USB which has a slower connection = less track count compared to firewire connection which has a greater capablity of moving info quicker.

USB has nothing to do with it. Mbox only streams 2 channels of audio for input and 2 for output, and USB is more than enough for this. Digidesign already has made comments about this in this forum. The reason is that 001, 002 and Mbox use different DAE. The only DAE left to get the track count bump is for the Mbox, and they decided that it was best to develop for OS X than for a soon to be outdated DAE for OS 9. Pro Tools 6 LE for Mbox will support 32 tracks.
