It's one of the great MOTU mysteries…

MOTU rules on mac, but I'd be very cautious anything from them when  
using a windows PC, MOTU is not very good at drivers compatibility in  
this configuration… (still hoping it though, it's a shame good stuff  
can't be plugged in and used without hassle sometimes).

I don't have recent input on this though.

now, there's happy PC users, fortunately.

The only alternatives on the 324/424 system I know of are either to be  
searched at creamware (pc only, I don't know where they are right now  
btw) and RME (a little bit better than MOTU stuff, but certainly not  
the most clear systems to pick out… I've never understood their  
website) or in high end systems with PT in mind… (and cash needed  
accordingly)

My limited experience with creamware has been on the MIDI side: you  
can't upgrade the OS of the Elektron stuff using their MIDI out, as it  
send a MIDI clock 24/7… (hate hate)

MOTU is very very mac centered (I may add fortunately ^^) and they  
develop accordingly, looooong record of Windows coming second.
