Industry wide- there has been a big push to incorporate Windows 7 as a media server. I went over to the 'white side' when Vista was introduced- and have never looked back.<br />
<br />
I have seen the 'Beach Ball of Death' only 24 times since the change.<br />
<br />

Using a new MS operating system with anything other than brand new hardware is a pathway to heartache.<br />

Forget Windows 7, 8, 9 and eventually 10. Mac is stable for media applications right now.
