...that is the question! Which would you pick, and why?
Here's my situation:
* Been running XBMCbuntu for 6 months or so on a netbook hooked up to our plasma (dual boot with Win7)
* Had a Xbox 1 running XBMC for about 4 years before that
* All media is downloaded and served from a desktop PC running Win7
* No real issues with the XBMCbuntu - save a couple of niggly resolution issues, and the occasional sound problem.
BUT:
* We do occasionally still use the netbook for surfing/emailing - I've had a cursory effort at running Chromium from XBMC (no-go, and didn't have the time to fiddle to get it going properly), and I don't want to have to log out / log in every time we want to use this.
So then, what are your thoughts? Better off with buntu? Or could Win7 be the better option here? Or is it in fact just six vs. two threes?
