I had no problems installing pro tools m-powerd 8. It works fine. I did install win 7 drivers for the m audio fast track pro, don't if that's why it's working, but I don't know why Avid/Digi are saying that it won't work. Or do you think maybe it is just an Illusion that it's working and it's all just a dream, then will wake up tomorrow and it won't work, but hey, I pinched myself and I don't think I'm dreaming, It really does work on win 7 PC.

This unit works perfectly well, has nice pre-amps and is favoured by students and educational establishments worldwide as a cost-effective PT LE solution. I am guessing that many of these centres will stop using Pro Tools in their classrooms and use Logic instead, since many also use Logic and will wish to keep abreast of OS and other software updates. They'll be upsetting and losing a lot of customers in the long run... Shame on you, Digidesign! I see no sense in them removing mbox 1 from the list of supported hardware acting as authorisation.

Just started to work with Logic 9 I'm wondering what more we actually need. Yes bug fixes would be nice but that ain't exactly sex that sells so that'll probably never happen. Apart from that? How many more tools for stutter effects do we need? Less than the "More of everything" button I struggle to come up with anything really vital? ;-P @ericdano it’s not the first time, a lot of peeps including myself to very miffed when they dropped the 001 but then again you wouldn’t expect digi to still support nubus cards – time moves on.

As the features require more horsepower, it is natural for support for older machines to be dropped. MOTU probably will drop support for PPC at some point, I'd say DP8 (next year this time?) but who knows. Digidesign have an update for 10.6 already? Yeah, right. It took them like 8 months to get PT to work on 10.5.....So, if 10.6 is basically the same thing optimized (though it really is more than that), then maybe 4 months? Christmas time? Windows 7.....pretty much Vista according to all the stuff I have read. Nothing really "major" other than the UI. I have it running on a computer. Maybe I'll get ambitious and see if PT works on it. Dropping hardware support though. That seems a little strange. Why drop the original MBox? I know a guy who was running PT on Mac OS 9 up until about late 2004.
