LW runs on Windows XP embedded for the EI controller.
It says it on the website, but you can run it on MCE.
I would not do so with a multi purpose windows machine
though.

To clarify, Lifeware can run on Windows XP, XP MCE, and XP embedded (soon, also Vista). I think what Steve was saying is that if stability and security are your concern, then it can be set up on a server that is locked away and protected. Lifeware does not have to have internet access to operate. The only time that web access is absolutely necessary is during the activation and registration process. During those times, the system sends and receives information to activate your server's license key with us, and registers the product for support. However, some folks like the ability to pull information in from the web, such as album art for the music library, weather forecasts, etc. And some want the ability to surf as well. So, If I understand the question correctly, I think the answer is that Lifeware can be set up either way, or in combination, depending on your customer's preferences. In other words, you can lock it down as tight as you want to.
