yeah, it's more or less explained on that link : https://www.microsoft.com/taiwan/whdc/system/sysinternals/mm-timer.mspx
the timers that are used in XP are not accurate enough for realtime stuff, and apparently they have dropped DirectMusic in Vista ?! so they have to rely on them in legacy mode, which are a far cry from HPET....still it's quite a shame that you can't play MIDI to external gear right on time in Vista ?! I guess there's a very good reason why ppl stick to XP to use Cubase :o
I'm personally using the PM clock in XP(which you can force through the boot.ini), it's much better anyway...but still much less accurate than HPET.
