I have been a tech for almost 30 years, and I know what I like and I don't like. Windohs Ate, I do not like, nor do it find it helpful to my job of educating people as to how to use computers. It only complicates things for them, when they should get more simple, and build on the old model, not throw it under the bus.

BTW- I prefer a Mac Pro to do video/audio. With 12 processors, and and 12 GB RAM, I will put it up against ANY Asus, or other Windows machine.
Yes, you can load the 64bit version, but how many times will it crash? I have had bad experience with 64 bit windows crashing, and burning, to make them seem useful to clients. If they want to professionally do video/audio, it'll have to be a Mac Pro.
