The PC I bought (pretty good deal from newegg.com - an HP Pavillion with 6GB of RAM and a dual core 2.5GHZ processor, 750MB HD for $399, free shipping) came with Windows 7. I could wipe the HD and install XP but I'd really rather get on Windows 7, since that will be the os that MS supports ongoing. It's really pretty good, considering what a fuckup Vista was (that one I refused to use). This PC also has a nice sound card with digital inputs, which I like because I am a musician (once pro, now amateur) and I use Sonar for recording. I'll be able to take a digital output from my mixer and go straight in.

And as for installing Server R2, I don't really use this as a server; it just has my business apps on it and my SQL database. No one but me accesses it, so running Windows Server would be big-time overkill (plus I'd have to buy it and I don't want to spend the beans).

I may disable the UAC but so far, I have been able to get past every hurdle but this last one and that is not UAC related but instead has to do with the way they have changed DB access in SQL Server 2008.

I will do my billing today on my XP machine and continue to pursue this access issue. I know the answer is out there on some website; I just have to phrase my search in a way that brings it to me.
