So I guess the whole, keep your DAW off a network speech is a thing of the past since it automatically checks for updates now?

Just because.....I didn't say "automatically".
 
I don't know about the network speech but I will say that I have other programs with the "check for updates"
function so I will plug my DAW into the router and do the check. Sure is easy for me and nice to see X2 onboard.
 
I read about the feature- haven't updated yet but fixin' to.
If it's like I expect it'll be listed in the help menu and when you want to check for updates...click it.

Well X2a is working fine with my recordings, Ivory II, Symphonic Orchestra, True Piano's,  Dimension Pro, and just basic fooling around....I can say this it seems to work better than X2, the cursors is more responsive, now time markers etc...for my needs and desires it's working out fine for me, no complaints here.

I was just thinking out loud how the whole daw setup ordeal seems to have changed. It seems the setup rules have changed drastically the last couple years. One of the big taboo's seemed to be keeping a nic out of your box, now its expected.

I Am ashamed to ask the question. ASHAMED! I know I'll get ridiculed for asking. 


Should I get the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7? 

well. it will install and work ok on vista,according to early reports,
but vista is a PIG,, so go ahaead and pull the trigger and upgrade..
 
but see if it is an upgrade or you hav eto do a complete new install...

I've had a few small glitches, and had to rename a bunch of plug-ins to sort things out, but everything seems to be OK now after playing for about an hour.

but see if it is an upgrade or you hav eto do a complete new install... 

It's the upgrade home premium. Walmart has it for $106

I'm not sure how complicated it would be to just upgrade. 

Better check around to be sure Bill.

Just because the box says upgrade on it, does not mean that you can do an "in place" upgrade of the OS.

Case in point. Win 8 will do an in place upgrade of Win 7 Home Premium but NOT or Win 7 Professional.

Tread lightly my friend.
