I had a question about my M-Audio Audiophile 2496. It's running under
XP Media Center. M-Audio replied that they don't support any of their
hardware with this O/S.

The card works like a champ as far as I can tell. Their response is
"this doesn't mean you won't experience full functionality but we
don't support it".

??

Do they know whether their card works with this O/S or don't they?
Can someone clarify what the rationale behind this is?  Is there
something fundamentally different about the way XP MCE is designed
that it's wholly unlike other versions of XP and just happens to have
the same look as the other versions?

Anyone experience weird problems with XP MCE that other versions don't
cause? Everything I've ever run on it runs fine, including older
versions of things that aren't certified for it such as Soundforge 5
and Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.
