I've not tried the de-interlacing stuff in windows... its pretty much a default install except enabling DXVA2, region, shares etc.... if I was you I would look on one of the well know download site... demon/bay and download a TechNet unmolested version of Win7 to trial... then if you like it you can buy it
Yep Win7 is a tad on the large side as an underlying OS but its pretty good on resources these days... I'm running it on old P4's with a gig of RAM and they work pretty well... stick M$ Security Essentials on and dont install anything else like all the Live stuff... I edited the startup as well so it only boots essential stuff... its not bad, but not really where I want to be.
I'll see if I can track down a version of Win7 for a trial. Surely can't be any worse than what's going on for me at the moment with Linux
Edit: Just got my suspend issues resolved - so I'm quite a happy chappy at present
