Any Difference in the version of Win 7 used for a music server?

[Dennis Graves]

In terms of sound and functionality is there any difference between the versions of Windows 7 when used for a music server? I plan on using a laptop with J River Media. I would prefer to use the more basic version of Win 7 if possible (Windows 7 Home basic) in order to save space on my SSD (Solid State Drive). HOwever, if Win 7 professional offers some functionality or better sound, I would certainly use it.

Hi Dennis - Win 7 Professional and Ultimate offer the ability to remote control the server from another computer using Window's Remote Desktop. I use this quite a bit. There are plenty of other third party solutions to accomplish this if you don't go for Pro or Ultimate .
