Pulling it back on topic :-)...

I wouldn't touch Wimdoze 10 with yours, if you will excuse the
expression and we have just one win7 desktop in the house, on
a separate subnet. Use the server version for the lab desktop,
only upgrading to 2008 from 2003 last year, when it became old
enough to be affordable on Ebay. Still getting updates as well,
but ignore much of that.

What I do like about ws2008 (~win 7) is that all services other
than essential are turned off by default and have to be enabled.
They also did a fair job with the system management tools as
well, though the myriad of options takes time to wade through.
Finally, there's an nfs client included, that just needs to be
enabled. Server as well if you need it. An essential since the
lab server and much else are all unix or variant. Much better
os than any of the home user versions...
