Considering the HR issues with the relatively high ratio of hosts of Windows/Intel to others, is it still preferred by those in charge that we refrain from adding new Windows/Intel hosts?

I've got a Mac/PPC crunching along slowly and another Mac/Intel (hopefully) adding a WU here and there. My Windows computer is busy doing other things, but it would be happy to do a few WUs if it won't make the HR situation any worse.

Let me know. TIA.

I think it's fairly save to add the Win-host, haven't seen any issues with my 2 window's host up till now.

Worst case scenario... a new HR difference will popup... but that will give the crew here an oppertunity to spot it.

Its ok to add windows machines, I have several windows boxes and I havent seen any problem, plus remember we are in alpha testing so is better to discover problems now than at a latter time.
