Yup, I agree. Tho it's not so easy when the Mrs connects everything she can to the web
[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1161088' date='Mar 13 2011, 09:35 PM']I've had my Pro Tools setup installed on my MB Pro for all of 3 days, run it for maybe six hours so far, and it has crashed once.
For reference, it has only ever crashed twice when running the same gear under Windoze - hundreds of hours.
Of course this could just mean that my audio interface has better Win drivers than Mac drivers, rather than Pro Tools/Win being more stable, or Win itself being more stable, but it does at least make the point that simplistic "Mac is more reliable" arguments aren't really any use for evaluating anything.[/quote]
I've never used Pro Tools before. It might well be better suited to Windows or it might have something that conflicts with something else that's on your MB.
I hope you get it sorted out as it's handy to have 2 machines with the same software (for times when the Mrs is on the one you want to use).
