I have a few questions and I don't see any groups that refer to Windows 7,
or that are relevant to my roaming profile question, so please excuse the
crossposting. I am watch all groups for any replies...

We have four users in our home and three computers. These computers run
Vista Premium 64bit, Windows 7 RC 64bit and Windows 2003 Server 32bit. All
are legit with proper licensing, etc. These computers are shared, so anyone
could be sitting at any computer. We may be adding a fourth PC as a media
centre.

Now, my questions...

- I would love to have roaming profiles, but we don't run a domain
controller, etc. Are there alternatives to this? I simply want to sit at any
PC, log in, and have my documents, start menu, background, etc. follow me.
Is there a way to point Windows to a network drive for all my local profile
info?

- The 2003 Server is overkill for what we do. Just a file and media server,
basically. Trying to find a decent antivirus program, at a decent price,
that will run on a Server machine is difficult. What makes it worse is that
I don't want infected files moved, deleted or repaired. I just want them
renamed, adding the .vir extension. Because of this, I am considering moving
this machine to Windows 7. Does this sound reasonable?

- Since our Window 2003 machine is a file server, we have our drives in a
RAID5 array. If I move to Windows 7 will I have to lose the array or will
Windows 7 support RAID5 arrays? Will I need to rely on a hardware solution
or can Windows 7 create RAID 5 arrays like Windows 2003 can?

....so, simply put, what is the best solution to access the same desktop on
multiple machines and to serve my RAID5 files to my household?

P.S. Reposted with typo's fixed and because my last post doesn't appear to
have got onto the groups.
