Thanks Bryan. With the release of w7, microsoft isn't planning to stop updating xp anytime soon just to force consumers to upgrade, are they?

About the only major benefit that I've encountered with Windows 7 64-bit so far is the well-known benefit of more memory available to plugs than on XP. That's it. Nothing runs faster. 64-bit Sonar will definitely make a difference in terms of speed, but that isn't available yet. Even the memory isn't a big help to me at this point. It is rare that I use more than 1.8GB of memory in my Sonar projects, and XP can handle that just fine. If you're starting with a new DAW, then you should go ahead with 64-bit Windows 7. However, unless you're a power user, or enjoy tinkering with techy things, I'd suggest that most CT users not bother with upgrading their current DAWs yet. There just aren't enough advantages for the typical user to justify the headaches. I definitely suggest that anyone with a DAW from Dancing Dots call us to talk about your options before upgrading to Windows 7.

People have reported driver problems with the video intercept, some of which i've personally experienced. i've also experienced random crashes on various machine configurations, both 32 and 64, using jaws11 and win7. This didn't occur in jaws10, and jaws11 does sem to get stuck in certain areas of the windows UI sometimes and requires a restart and/or a screen refresh to work properly. This again is on various machines, not isolated to 1 single machine. In terms of scripts, jaws11 is better, it actually reads the list views and the selections, though be it a little buggy sometimes, it does support the system tray function, the start menu and the new calculator amongst other things. But the program itself seems a bit buggy to me on every day use... If you can deal with those minimal issues, you should be ok. I must say however that the research it feature is very handy to quickly lookup stuff...

If you were to use jaws under windows 7 I'd recommend jaws11, that goes for 32 or 64 platforms...
