my 2 cents are that a nord is a nord is a nord!
no doubt about that! and a virus is something but nothing that special. it can do many things, has it's efx and the biggest lure is it's fat multitimbrality (16 compared to nord's 4). but in the end i'd rather have the classic synth with the original sound that has more edge and characater than an average sounding jack-of-all-trades.

The editor works here on Win 7 32 bit, 64 bit is not supported. It also works on Mac, but I don't know about newer Mac OS. I really like the Micro Modular but the big drawback is that it's only monophonic and the lack of more pots.

^yep, i'm running the modular editor on Win7 32-bit and it's fine.
although worth mentioning that the micro modular is not 'monophonic', it's monotimbral. it can play full chords (like any polyphonic synth) but you can only load one patch at a time. the patch can be just as complex as any nord modular G1 patch; it's the same software with the same CPU limitations.
to the original poster: there is nothing quite like the Nord hipass filter... it just has this effortless smoothness about it. even when you push the resonance, it just gets, well, fuller somehow, denser... without breaking up. you can just keep giving it more and more. i even prefer it to some analog hipass filters!
add in the build quality and 'playability' of all Clavia hardware (even the micro modular, with its limited knobs, is a design classic)... and the fact that it has audio inputs (so you can use it to process other sounds) and the pleasure that comes from having a nice, well-thought out synth interface to tweak with, and the useability of the sounds... well, i'd probably keep it unless i really wasn't using it at all!

with regards to the nord modular editor running on Mac Os.....Thats somewhat of a half truth as they never cared to update it fully. It remains a beta with an attitude problem. Right clicking will cause a program crash for example (pretty useless) which is why i run my editor on a POS acer laptop in xp.
The Nord rack and the modular do have a different high-pass to my ears and i favor the Nord more than my modular for those ultra high but smooth tweaks. For absolute yummy bubblyness i reach for the modular though.
