Right-o, lads, let's get serious. That includes you, Jensen--no hiding behind the potted plant this time.
My new (Harold be His Name) Alienware M17x, configured by yours truly to include every disgustingly excessive and over-the-top component, has been delivered by the Stork Guild. It was endored (watch it...) by its Creators with <suppressing gag reflex> Vista 64-bit, which, through some shady connections of mine ranging from the Hobgodlin Triads to the Sirens, those most wily of all vixens, I shall shortly be replacing with the much heralded Windows 7 64-bit.
Some of my most tech savvy compatriots, people not normally inclined to making flattering remarks about Microsoft, have nonetheless been steadily praising 7. Hm. Alright then, so per'aps Microsoft has at last passed a kidney stone worthy of the name operating system.
Whatever the case, those of us what dabble in the world of home recording software now find ourselves in a quandary no less dire than that at that moment of greatest need, toilet paper is nowhere to be found. <shudder> Pro Tools? Cakewalk? Everyone has their preferences. Point is, whichever variety of PC-based recording, sequencing, production software you fancy, if you know you will be migrating to Windows 7 64-bit, your most beloved software title will not avail you unless it will run without a hitch on this new OS. Or, alternatively, unless you know for a fact that the vendor in question will imminently be releasing a new version of the software, or an upgrade, update, line of helium balloons featuring the words "Swine Flu Forever!" emblazoned upon them, that will make said software fully compatible with Microsoft's latest effluence.
Thus bringing to the meat of my tomato. Does anyone here--hands off the cucumber sandwiches, Jensen! They're for after--have definitive knowledge and experience of particular home recording/production software running smooth as silk on Windows 7, and if so, how many cans of Barbisol will it take to get you to share your intel?
In utero,
