Lol, "Flatten the box" - to reformat and your PC prior to an o/s rebuild

As for SP2 - there are meant to be a LOT of fixes to security in this build. So many changes in fact, that in many circles its almost being referred to as WinXP2..

However, as with ANY major O/S upgrade you can bet your bottom dollar that NO compatibility or stability testing was done with us music bods in mind. The old "test of time" has kind of shown XP SP1 (plus hotfixes) to be ok for us musos and if it ain't broke.....

One things is true, you are definately either a MAC or PC person, but NEVER both. I dont really know anything about macs so I cant say but all of my experiences with them have either resulted in a nervous breakdown or a fire. I went from using Cubase on a PC to using Logic on a MAC, how different is that??? It did **** up my head!!! Although I must sau that I am completely happy running Windows xp pro on a P4, 2.8 gHz, 1024DDR Ram and a partitioned 80 gig hard drive. I'm telling you if you use a dual boot and install AVG free and Norton internet security and keep them updated then you'll have no probs. I am running Cubase vst 32 and sx 2, Reason 2.5, Logic 5.5platinum, Abelton live (which I recently uninstalled), and a few programmes such as adobe premier, maya flash etc. Fair enough a bit more disk space would be nice as these files are huge but touch wood I have never had a problem yet.

I use both here

G5 - Sequencing/Recording on Protools with 16 outs going to desk (002/Ai3) and another 8 outs to desk from 1010 card on PC running Vstack for vstis.

They sit beside each other nicely without a scuffle

well, SP2 apparently already has been reported as being potentialy hackable - I say fuck SP2 and use a good firewall, turn off XP 'remote' and 'automatic updates' and 'error reporting' and use a recommended anti IE browser hack s/w - spywareguard I use - all this shit is free - I used to use Norton AV but after trying the free ANWIL one I wont go back to Norton, because it works and is free and does the job - since adding this and spywareguard i aint had a problem - oh yes and of course a firewall - either in the router built-in - but also i prefer to use a s/w one too in the pc itself even if the router (if you use one) has a firewall - I use Zonealarm - works great!

I also use the usual Adaware and spyware blater -

go and check

all free stuff listed there
