+1 on win7
P.S.
If you are a stundent: A lot of universities and schools offer an MSDNAA account. I just got 2 Win7 Pro Licenses (1x32 and 1x64 bit [I thought there would be only 1 license valid for both so I will try installing two 64bit Versions] over my MSDNAA acoount.

I could use the win 7 1x32 MSDNAA license for the 1x64 version. It seems like the license only is valid for one computer.
Especially since vista has flaws, and Win7 seems to have so many advanced features
I'm all for pure Windows 7 aswell, even though I do understand that some people don't want to upgrade all their HTPCs to Win7 due to costs. But my guess is that going for 7 only will be the most futureproof solution aswell.
I might be thinkign too far ahead now, but let's say that we'll see MP 2 "final" in what? 2nd half of 2011? At that point it'll probably only be 1 more year untill we get "Windows 8", and then you'll have to work with support for Vista, 7 and 8.

agree with above
Hi All, if XP can not be supported without compromises, then Win 7 only would make sense. As Vista just has so many bugs. I thought that MP II came out (developed) way before Win 7 was available, it must have been developed on XP. So it would not be too much to keep the XP compatibility. Also, I have not leant much about the advantage of Win 7 over XP. With MP I, I really hope it can boot a bit faster and totally crash proof (which at the moment I can not say it is yet). I thought that is the main reason to start MP II from scratch, I remember seeing someone said it will be 'rock solid and blazing fast'.
To be honest. I am positively surprised about the positive "W7 only" feedback we recive here.
I was expecting a lot of bashing and moaning.
Sometimes it is nice to be wrong.

I agree, I thought the community would not be so happy about it.
Good to be wrong and see that people understand the benefits.
