I run four different DAWs on my windows machine and three do not stutter when i open plug ins up or close them. This is a weakness in the RB audio engine. Sonar doesn't, Reaper Doesn't MTS doesn't.

Folks are all so quick to bash Windows. Go over to the Logic forum and read a while, you will notice that it has problems with automation, wave files, bouncing, plugins, you name it. Should we assume that all the problems are just logics, and not also Apple OS related as well?

Win 7 has shown to be a very stable capable OS for audio, and there are a lot of folks using Windows DAWs these days, even in pro studios.

On Sonar i get 4ms latency with no issues and the same is true of Reaper and MTS, RB and PTPA are right there. They do not handle my ASIO driver as well, but it is still very solid.

It is vogue to beat up Microsoft i guess, but i have several friends with Macs and they have had just as many problems as I have.
