Cool, I particularly like the network booting.  This gives Windows an 'easy and quick to configure' bonus over Linux which I won't deny.  If you are setting up even a moderate sized farm and/or are just looking for maximum profit (and your time is valuable) then this could be a good choice.

However, it may well be that one can achieve better MH/s or MH/J in Linux and I think there are a few people on these forums who value the extra MH/s more than the 2-3 hours time configuring the miner.  Indeed I doubt I'm alone in actually enjoying the configuration and tweaking.

I've put together my own PXE setup for my Linux mining rig as a proof of concept. If there's demand, I'll develop it further and release it.
