In honor of Happyland, I think Mac should announce a "one eared barn cat" OS.

The One-eared Barn Cat OS held some promise, but they couldn't get a mouse to work with it.

Backbeat, it's an easy move from XP to Win7. There's very little you will have to learn. Anyone who is familiar with XP will immediately be at home in Win7. Almost everything will feel familiar, but better. Nearly everything will work faster and more reliably. Just to be safe, install it from scratch on a new drive or freshly formatted partition. That way you can boot to XP when needed. It will let you do that with the upgrade version, which is a bit cheaper.

That said, I used PT9 on XP for two weeks for some mixing and editing, and it worked great. I didn't do any tracking with it, so I can't speak to that. But for mixing, one session had 62 tracks and loads of plugs, including a couple of VIs. Never a hitch. My only problem was that the MIDI drivers wouldn't install, so I had no MIDI I/O; but I'm 99% certain that had to do with a problem unique to my system because I had had several other installers fail to work properly over the previous few months. When I upgraded to 7, the same sessions appeared to use a little less CPU than they had in XP, which is consistent with my experience that Win7 is more efficient overall.

I've run PT9 on identical hardware mac/win7-64... PT9 is 1000% more stable on the mac. And on the rare times it does crash - no system reboot needed. On the Win7 x64 side - random crashes - odd problems with RTAS processing - and the annoying "cannot save" bug - and then you have to reboot. You can get it to work on Win7 - but its just not as smooth running as on OSX.

If I were building/buying a new machine for PT9 - I'd definitely get a Mac.

That's true at the moment. But they'll sort it out in the next cs or two, if they wanna live.

So if you can run PT9 on XP, has anyone been able to use an 001 with it? I have an 001 rig that would be cool if I could use PT9 with

This is not a "w7" issue, this is "your computer" issue. I have none of the problems you speak of and I run very large sessions and is running great.

Yes- I would say that "runs 1000% better on a Mac" is a wee bit of an exaggeration.
