Sorry Basil, but this isn't correct. 5 years ago, yes, but not anymore. The Windows/Nuendo combo is gaining ground, also in high-class professional studios (for some reason it's become very popular in Nashville studios, Mark Knopfler's "Shangri-La" is another example, it's the choice of legendary engineer Alan Parsons in his personal studio, Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" show was recorded on this combo, etc...).<SMALL>If you want to use the BEST music software and the best of the VST (or other) plug-ins etc, the the Mac is the ONLY option (In the Professional World that is)</SMALL>
Again, I have nothing against Macs, I'm just a bit tired of these "Mac is for the pros, Windows is for the home amateurs" myths. It's simply not like that anymore, even if the majority of big-time studios still favors Mac/ProTools,- and why shouldn't they, they know the system inside out and has paid big $$$ for it, so why change it as long as it runs fine?
