not that I recommend it, and pretty sure Intel's drivers still prevent bitstreaming audio on the celeron CPUs, but it's no harder than any other OS to install. Curious where you saw it - got a link?
Matt - think that limitation is Baytrail only. Celerons based on Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge - and AFAIK Haswell - are fine at bitstreaming HD Audio in Windows as they have Protected Audio Path driver support. Pretty certain that the 2955U Brix is bitstreaming fine with Windows (as were the 1007U and 847 Celerons)?
