Rick, you know I participated from nearly the first in the evolution of cMP, regard it highly and still use it. But these developments for the first time seem possibly an advance over that, which may involve a better alternative to rampant slimming. File removal is not a belief system but a rather crude though effective way of making improvements in the windows jungle. It's like using a machete. It seems logical to me that a more surgical and informed optimization could do better.
However, I would be very interested in links to forums where skeptical and negative reviews of AO and server 2012 can be considered to round out a take on these developments.

Since I am using MQN which I thought I had made clear I have to use something other than XP, which I also thought I had made clear. My point was THE PLAYER is the most important thing and then you use an OS the player requires.
There are many good things about SERVER and many bad things. What a surprise. My point was this batch file which could be duplicated and likely even improved by an intrepid hobbyist is not the last word on making SERVER work its best since, I suspect, it does little more than duplicate cics's initial setting for using XP. Based upon what I have read in other forums and the authors own paper.
The stumbling block for getting the best out of SERVER and the players that need a 64 bit platform is finding out how to rid the thing of file protection so we can calm the thing down.
As I said earlier - it could well be that this, if done, will not make any difference. Who knows until we have tried it?
I am amused when someone thinks an OS made for a wide range of uses cannot be improved by customizing it for a very specific use. But then I have not spent 100 euros on a batch file so I have not got my ego entangled in my audio system.
I have not used XP for over a year. I am not entangled in XP in any way. I have deleted all of my old installs. No going back. Nonetheless, there was intimation that minimized XP was not stable and that was not the case. My XP install started and stopped or stayed on for days with no glitches at all once finalized.
Pretty much everything you posted above is inaccurate, and some actual fiction.It is all good though.
It would be nice if we talk more about what we really know, and do first hand without bias, assumption and innuendo.
But no problem. Some people still like wearing polyester... lol

It really is better.
It is hard to understand how anyone who have never used the software can know so much about it. It is also is rather weird that he is using server 2012 which was first recommended by Phil. Phil is a very talented professional programer and a serious audiophile, not just someone fooling with software. He actually supports his product and goes the extra mile to insure AO users get their systems up and running. Read the testimonials on Computer Audiophile.

There aren't any...
