I'm using xp, It takes 1-2 min to power up, but its more of the hassle of the mouse, (I don't like the touch pad), the sd2, midi interface, audio output for the laptop and the audio output for the sd2. I'm looking for something easier. Uncle Dave do you have a pic so that I can get idea of your setup.
