Vista 44.1KHz pass thru?

Hey there,
From what I've been reading/hearing is that Microsoft is totally redesigning the audio sub system and getting rid of kmixer, in favour of a bit perfect high quality design

If I had to make the decision between a PC and a Mac I would not let this be the determining factor. As you said, you can output unmolested audio from a windows based machine with a simple plugin. I do not see why this would change with a new version of windows. What I'm trying to say is that you can reach your goal of bit perfect output with either machine. Which operating system are you most comfortable or experienced with? Are there other programs that you use that require either a Mac or a PC? That's the type of thing I would think about.
