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?

  I have a swappable hard drive on my DAW, and so have both 32-bit Windows XP 
and 64-bit Windows 7 available on separate hard drives.

  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.

  sounds like it might still be good to stick with xp for a while then?

  It's not a matter of 64 or 32 bit, jaws11 in general is average with win7. 
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...

  HTH, D!J!X!

  djx,

  how would you actually rate jaws 11 with windows 7 64-bit? does it work very 
well, or just average?

  Yes jaws64 works under win7, jaws10 has somewhat limited  support, while
  jaws11 has better support, though it's kind of buggy... If you were to use
  jaws under windows 7 I'd recommend jaws11, that goes for 32 or 64
  platforms...

  HTH, D!J!X!

  Hi erik!
  as far as I know, jaws is now in both 32 and 64 bit for windows 7, well, I
  haven't tried it out yet, but I sure will do when I get money for purchasing
  windows 7.
  I'm running sonar 8.5 on an XP machine, and it's working great.
  Oh, by the way. Welcom to the list, I'm Jörgen Hansson,from sweden as well.
  Hope you'll have a good time with us on this wonderful list.
