Windows 7 for Audio or Video, yes - No?

I've not seen explicit info regarding Windows audio performance capabilities with regard to music being .improved by stepping up to Windows 7.

Is there any experience here which says Windows 7 is superior to either Vista or XP now in terms of the above context?

All I've seen are notes on Remote Desktop, and network sharing of resources being made easier. Not much on latency, speed, quality, etc... and much of that as it pertains to WMP software.

Thanks much.

Yeah with Windows 7 I don't personally see the need for OSX. Windows 7 is great all by itself. Yeah from your description you probably only need to upgrade your OS.

I use one of my HTPCs with a front projector/119 inch screen, 52 inch LCD TV and a 19 inch LCD monitor. I also have a Plasma in th bedroom connected to a media extender (XBox360). I stream movies from the same HTPC to the display in the bedroom as well.Skies the limit on what you can do with this OS if you put your mind to it.

Here's another new kid approaching the states Dell Inspirion Zino HD. It's already been released in Ireland. I call it the Mac Mini killer.

I'm sold on Windows 7 after using it for the last 5 months.....Linux has been my operating system of choice for the last 5 years.

so indeed you find the Win 7 OS better sounding when used as a source driving component?
