The protools that comes with the digi001 (not the free one) supports XP (and better yet, digi released WDM drivers so you can use any windows prog with the hardware) and PT 6 will also run on XP. I am not a big fan of protools since the midi support still seems a little awkward (compared to logic or cubase anyway) but I cannot really talk smack about their hardware which is the best by a long shot. However, I think in a couple years the idea of using protools as a "Techno" production platform will not even come into play since PCs are outpacing Macs both in price and performance and the improvements in affordable sound interfaces will soon make the $50k, $300/hour studio obsolete for dance music producers. Once Windows is taken out of the picture and companies get a little initiative (how about a custom Linux distro for Cubase ala final scratch?) we will see the true advent of the home studio.
