Most plug-ins for Macs are nowadays AU versions. You could run VSTs with Ableton Live, but the market is really focused on releasing AU plug-ins.

There are plenty of drum modules for Macs, depends what you want to achieve. --Kent

Same here. I like it better than Microtonic - and it's free.

I circumvent the pc/mac issue by having both operating systems on my computer. I use the osx86 method, but you could just as easily use bootcamp.

Live will let you install itself on both mac and pc with one license.

Normally I wouldn't recommend vista. But depending on what midi/audio hardware you have, chances are that the drivers written for vista are much better than the ones written for XP. At least, that's the experience I've had with my m-audio and korg devices.

If you're running a PowerPC mac though, your out of luck. You might try Parallels, and just sample the sounds you need.
