I know that back in the day, ProTools HD wouldn't boot up on a laptop unless there some kind of PT interface connected; it wouldn't let you simply play through the computer speakers.

Is this still the case?

I'm asking because I'd rather not install HD at all on my laptop if I'm going to be needing an interface when all I want to do is just listen to a file...

Thanks in advance for any info...
