[ARCADIOS]

beta, but it is here.
soniccore please give us the drivers for 7

[Neutron]

It the same as windows vista. the vista drivers will work.

i believe the expression for windows 7 is "lipstick on a pig"

[firubbi]

Or 'About as much use as a chocolate teapot'.

On a serious note i have to say that Windows' latest direction with Vista etc. is making me consider getting a Mac in the not too distant future. All that DRM shit is not going to be good if your computer decides Scope or XITE break its DRM rule and disables it.

Hopefully xite/scope 5 will work on my Thinkpad running MacOS Tiger 10.4.8....

yes, macs have a lot of DRM shit as well. you cant escape like that.
DRM is the least of your worries with vista though.

What, so we'll have to actually start buying M$ products?? The bastards!!!

Nice of them to use the word 'trust' isn't it? Bunch of butt munchers.

[Shroomz~>]

Should we trust them though? - Probably not, considering that the Gates foundation have a seat on the Trilateral commission.

[Shroomz~>]

They can't do jack shit about older systems that we manage to keep running offline for our DAWs though....

Since OSX is based on FreeBSD, what are the chances of getting a FreeBSD driver?

Hopefully xite/scope 5 will work on my Thinkpad running MacOS Tiger 10.4.8....

You have OSX working on a thinkpad?!? Please tell me more amout it!

My T43 will only run Tiger and not Leopard due to video support issues, but wireless/bluetooth/USB/1440x1024/power saving all works. Suspend and resume not so much, but then I had a hard time getting that to work under Linux too. Things like Ableton and Circle soft synth work fine. Haven't really tried audio interfaces because mine is a Cardbus interface and would need drivers from EMU.


HTH,

Huh,

OSX on a thinkpad looks a bit too experimental for me. But thanks for the link anyway.

Os dependence it´s quite absurd for making music. In case you need an specific OS for anything, just install another OS in another partition. I don´t see any contribution of the OS to making music.

just found that expression on my dilbert daily desk calendar. refreshing

[next to nothing]

Well, it has been reported on this forum that Windows 7 actually runs scope 4.5 pretty good so it's lipstick on a pig that is xp compatible anyways
