maybe not for audio-apps.
I once read some books about "subverting the windows kernel" - one can
do marvelous stuff and get great performance out of it!! - only half

might just be crap...
however some instinct tells me that a UNIX - no matter how pre-emptive
or tweaked - will always have more overhead than some DirectX-app. - but
IMO this is irrelevant for "normal" audio apps on modern machines.. -
memory management and -locking are more crucial..

Cons;
If "windows wants" it can perform better than a fully fledged
rt-unix-kernel. - but that remains to be proven for Vista!
Are you saying that this is true for XP? Are there any references for
that? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
