Blizzard Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi AudioPhil, I was just wondering why Windows server 2012 was chosen for Audiophile Optimizer over something like Windows Embedded 8? Have you ever tried optimizing Windows Embedded 8? Link to comment
Blizzard Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Indeed, back in the old days there was an audiophile windows 8 version available by a guy who called himself John Doe. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/iso-universal-serial-bus-industry-standard-cables-connectors-and-communications-protocols-between-computers-and-electronic-devices-key-installer-preconfigured-and-stripped-down-audiophile-version-windows-8-pro-including-jriver-and-foobar-14390/ as of today John Doe listens to Phil or AusioPhil and the result of that windows 8 experiment is called AudiophileOptimizer. Some more explanations why not to use Win7/Win8 are available here -> Highend-AudioPC | Audiophile Optimizer The furure dough looks slightly different -> http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f10-music-servers/poll-any-interest-win10-if-audiophile-optimizer-available-24679/index2.html best, Phil Yes I understand about Windows 8 not being optimal, but I'm talking about Windows Embedded 8. Totally different system made by a 3rd party company who specializes in real time operating systems. Link to comment
Blizzard Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi yes i understood that too. Those embedded versions are not suited because of some other reasons. Either way windows 8 is legacy -> it's a dead OS. Windows 8 embedded is still current. It's the modular version that allows customization beyond any other version of Windows. I have it installed in UEFI mode on my optimized for audio media player right now. I was just wondering if you have actually played with it and compared the pros/cons vs server 2012? Link to comment
