    what a bunch of astroturfing crap. Let's see. Gaming, ok sounds good it's better on windows. starting off nicely. Business applications, lost it with that one already,
    wtf is a business application(just about anything other than games?)
    enterprise servers(yes if you want your enterprise servers to be shitty, windows is much better)
    streaming media from your computer to your TV, yes that way I can store my movies on my tv's hard drive. Oh wait, my tv lacks a hard drive. Perhaps you meant tv out.
