I have Windows 7 now running for about 3 weeks and it does fine. Ok if you try to install you get some trouble. First ich had to extract the content of the downloaded exe file. then i had to move the content of the $outdir ( it was the directory with $ beginning but may have had a different name ) one folder up and set the mediaportal-installer tvserver-installer and the deploy-tool to run in Vista compatibility mode. Even then there are some messages saying: that the used operating system ins´t supported. Ignore those messages and install. After that MediaPortal itselfs runs fine. But the tv-server often stopped. So i had to make one change and start the tv-server again. but the strange thing is after completing the tv-server setup it runs fine without any problems. My Windows 7 runs 24 Hours a day seven days a week and recorded over 40 shows in the last week without any trouble. I´m using the Microsoft internal Codecs for TV and Videos ( don´t use them for DVD otherwise you can´t skip through DVDs ) its named Microsoft DTV-DVD or some thing like that. With my old Sony Beamer @ 1024x768 they make a very good picture.
The Windows Media Center can easily be disabled via the gpedit.msc and the autoplay can be deactivated through the control panel! I´m using the Windows 7 drivers for the complete hardware, even tv-cards and graphic card. For HD content i installed the Stand alone Filters for HTPC out of this forum. The only big problem i had was the mce remote. With the windows drivers MediaPortal only regonized the remote as general hid and therefore most of the buttons didn´t work. with the mce replcament drivers for vista and the mce replacement plugin for modeiaportal even the remote is fine. Ok some expressions from me Short Statement: MediaPortal on Windows 7 is some work but worth of it! I´m loving it

Sorry for my poor English
