Title: windows Xp vs windows 7
Post by: capthank on September 07, 2012, 03:22:36 pm

Does it matter which operating system to run mc17?

I am running xp and was thinking of an upgrade to 7.

Any benifit?

Thanks Dave

Media Center works fine on XP or Windows 7.

But Windows 7 is a better OS in my opinion.  I think you'll be happy with it.

Definitely Windows 7. It is a far superior platform for media playback. I had a very stable XP HTPC that I was reluctant to move. A year after the Win7 launch I bit the bullet and it was painless and a massive improvement.

Windows 7 offers you WASAPI over Windows XP.
