Windows 7 for Audio or Video, yes - No?


I've not seen explicit info regarding Windows audio performance capabilities with regard to music being .improved by stepping up to Windows 7.

Is there any experience here which says Windows 7 is superior to either Vista or XP now in terms of the above context?

All I've seen are notes on Remote Desktop, and network sharing of resources being made easier. Not much on latency, speed, quality, etc... and much of that as it pertains to WMP software.

Thanks much.

so indeed you find the Win 7 OS better sounding when used as a source driving component?

hey Chazz

If I do'd it at all I'd probably just go the upgrade route on my 32 bit Vista laptop... the HDMI thingy bugs me some too as I'd prefer it over the vga I have now.

As of this week my adaptive software designers say support is in place for Win 7 now.

I'll likely not change any other pc's OS. Ain't broke... don't fix it... sort of thing i guess.

Hi G

Having the ability to record and watch up to 4 HD channels; HD cable/OTA HD or satellite at once using a dropped in cable card with no DVRs or cable boxes necessary, all while streaming that content to 3 other TVs in the house will be the Bee's Knees when it is released next year!

Say what?

Dell makes a Studio model Chazz that can be an HTPC for $519.00. This includes a Blu-ray drive and a true HDMI output.

What's a studio pc & what's the name of this gizmo? Got a link to it?

Thanks much guys
