Setting up a new system. Which OS should I use right now?

Are you guys using Logic 9 successfully with the 003? Man, I'm still mostly reading about people having problems getting the 003 to work properly, mostly with 3rd party software, including Logic...

I use a 003 with Logic 9.1/32. It has been absolutely ROCK solid since the .1 update. I don't use the 64bit version as I don't need to and my Alphatrack is not supported yet.

In 64bit there are still compromises within Logic. No MP3 bounce, no Export Audio to Movie and other stuff.

In 32bit mode the 9.1 update has been fabulous for me. Reliably solid feel and with the new audio handling tools, the whole package is quick and easy to use.
The whole Logic 8 thing was freakin' horrible.

I check the DUC regularly with my fingers crossed that Pro Tools 9 has been released and the nightmare is over...

So in order to make it work, is there any special workflow or order in which youy have to open the the software, turn on the 003, or anything you need stick to, or does it just work, as one would expect?
My old 001 just worked, nothing to remember, turn on the comp, and everything cool. Now I read a few things here, that indicate that using the 003 with 3rd party software isn't that straight forward.

Ah well, I'll soon find out for myself, as soon as I find time. Installing and setting up always takes up so much time....
