       The funny part of this is that I've actually got a Win7 HTPC play machine   
   sitting right here. I got it because of all of the talk I've heard about using   
   IONs with Windows. It's a curiosity thing.   
      
       I was really tring to be helpful and not just trying to mindlessly troll   
   and put the other platform down.

       I will put my zealot hat back on and point out the fact that Windows does   
   much more poorly "Juggling" multiple services and dealing with high CPU load   
   while still providing a highly responsive end user experience.
