I'm planning to install windows 8 pro on my ex470 to hopefully give it some more peep. Has anyone done this and how is it performing?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, from my own experience I would personnally install WHS 2011 which will run fine on the EX470 and it is still a server compared to Windows 8 for a cheap price. One drawback to install Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 Essentials as a server is if you have some recorded TV from an HTPC and want to store them on the server, you'll have to do that manually because there is no automated solution on these O/S like it used to have on WHS both v1 and 2011. I would only migrate to theses O/S only if an add-in is available to automate the process of moving Recorded TV.
