Music on Windows

[XNine]

Howdy Howdy Howdy. Well, as my aging 2002 Powermac G4 can't really handle too much anymore, I am currently running Windows (please, spare any fanboy remarks, Windows 7 is actually quite usable).

Anyway, I'm looking for an App much like Garageband, yet a bit more powerful. I don't want to have to monkey with anything as technical or difficult as Reason, but I want something that will do drums/synths/ and allow me to do guitar/vox on without being too difficult.

Anyone know of anything like this? Google is useless and I'm not a part of any Windows forums, so I'd figure I'd ask one of the most knowledgeable communities around.

Thanks

No need to be a snarky **** <--- that's the C word, by the way. I was merely asking for people's advice on programs they may have had experience with that could point me in the right direction. Google hardly provides insight on details. Don't like it, don't post. Not that hard.
