Hey all-- My primary software is Adobe Audition 2.0 and 5.5. I also run Diamond Cut 7, but use it very rarely. There's also a gaggle of smaller applications I use: e.g. BWF Metaedit, NCH's Switch, Nero Burning Rom (can't remember the version), Better File Rename, the software for my thermal CD/DVD labeling machine, as well as Access, Excel, etc--as well as drivers for my steadfast USB Plextor Premium burners, the DAL CardDeluxe. I'm pretty sure the thermal labeler is not supported past XP, and that's one thing I still really need. MAC is probably out of the question due to my need for PCI/PCIe slots--especially since the new Mac Pro no longer seems to have them, not to mention we could not afford one regardless. My plan was to go with a fuller version of Win 7 rather than 8. I also have a Mac Mini with XP installed on a Bootcamp partition--and I might just move that to a VM using Parallels or VMWare Fusion. The only real bummer to me in all this--outside of the irritating recalcitrance of Microsoft in general--is Apogee's lack of FW 400 support for the Rosetta past XP, which will now require me to spend at least $700 on a D-sub interface and cables so I can keep using the hardware.
