Would have to recommend Win 7 and 64 bit if possible if your going to user system for more than just MePo - so you can add more RAM.
Also, MP2, still only in alpha, but getting there will be Win 7 only, no legacy XP support.

W7 +1 
Windows 7 is the much better os for mp
Windows 7 all the way.
Just joining the chorus - Win 7 (64Bit by preference)
Windows 7 is the better (and more up to date OS). I've just set up a new MediaPortal using Win7 32bit and it has pretty much all worked out of the box.
But, you need to make sure you have drivers available for Win7, if you had slightly older hardware, that worked under XP SP3, there is no guarantee that Windows 7 has the drivers, nor that the original manufacturer supplies Win7 drivers. If you go for 64bit Win7 this is likely to be even worse. I've had to go for "generic" audio drivers as the motherboard manufacturer hasn't supplied Win7 drivers, and the audio isn't supported out of the box with Win7.

I know your pain, I ended up just buying a new motherboard with everything on it. Only hardware is a tv card. all is much much more straight forward.

It may seem strange, but the open-source license allows anyone to sell physical CDs or DVDs to customers, provided that, for example, the source code is made available upon request and additional value is provided, such as an installation manual. Both of these are mentioned in the product description, so it appears to be legitimate...

TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page.
Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases.
