Let me clarify something.
This has absolutely nothing to do with cost of components or cost of the operating system upgrade itself.
This has to do with principle. I simply will not. In any century. For no amount of money or sex. run a service on anything higher than windows server 2003. (XP)
I don't care what "cuts" have to be made. You guys are playing MS's b*tch its simple as that. And thats putting it as lightly as possible for me.
Matter of fact I think that XP SP2 should be supported as well come to think about it.
The amount of bloat in the kernel that changed moving from anything higher than XP SP2 was just mind boggling. IIRC the kernel itself in vista can reach over 100mb's. (JUST the kernel)
Windows 7's SX driver system grows and grows and grows until the hard drive is completely full. What kind of insanity is that ?
The design of everything post XP sp2 was/IS considerably flawed IMHO.
Again. Playing MS. B*tch. -Lightly!
ps: see http://superuser.com/questions/1/why-does-the-winsxs-folder-grow-so-large-and-can-it-be-made-smaller for more info on the sxs issue.
My last and final win7 machine had a WinSX folder of just under 90gb's
