I did the dual boot with XP for a while but got sick of it and wanted to reclaim the HD space. So currently I'm making music on a Yamaha sampler (yes, hardware sampler) with an old PowerBook running the same dodgy version of Logic Platinum i started out on ten years ago. This probably doesn't sound appealing to anyone but me though...
Any reason you're not running Ardor, Rosegarden or Energy XT?

Because in a 32 bit environment it iwll ask you once and malware might look like what you want to install and wreak havoc. Now if you read each prompt you will notice that if you were downloading malware and were about to install it you can see it change from something like liveinstaller.exe to scatalerts.exe in the third window. Its annoying, but do look at it each time so you can protect your system.

At first, I was annoyed with it, but its useful when you get used to it.
Ah defending the diseased whore are we? ;)
OSX will tell you straight up that the file is not what it says it is. I'm pretty dammed sure there's no way for a file to auto run.
It's actually kind of amusing in an uber geek way that you're defending hand holding OS moves for Windows. OSX and macs are constantly accused of this..
