is it a bad idea to setup a masternode on windows 7 ?

with unnecesasary services turned off and firewall + antivirus installed.
Please please please do it. You will have given me 1000 DRK within 2 weeks of you launching it. I'm not even a little bit joking. The number of attack vectors I would have is unreal. Not as bad as say running a MN on win xp (god forbid...), but still.

The main reason, is a MN should only be run on dedicated hardware that is NOT doing anything else, even if that is just browsing facebook. And there is not a true server in the world running windows 7. If you must run it on a windows server, fine, but on a locked down win server 2012.

And most importantly, not on a residential connection.
