[QUOTE="Christian GÃ¼ssmer, post: 108995, member: 638"] Re: Avid Consoles…. XP and ? Besides Digidesign, at least Digico and Soundcraft have their consoles running on XP embedded, although the concepts are a bit different. Personally I woud never connect any of them to a WAN network ("the internet"), so the only threats I see are USB sticks and hacking a local control network. In fact the Digico way of booting from a ROM seems a bit safer as that might help against viruses from USB sticks.
