I was just wondering if any folks with dedicated astronomy computers have opted to go Windows Home Server instead of the normal Windows 7 or 8 operating system - given its stability?

Home Server is normally used on NAS, Media Servers etc things that you want to be on 24 * 7 and never ever have to worry about. I could see its relevance for a dedicated astrolab PC if your never switched it off.

It has much tighter networking set up and allowed connections definitions and application software registration processes - so might be a pain to set up and get everything working. So just wondering if anyone has ever trod this path and had success or otherwise?
